I've got two machines, each running a pair of Maxi Gamer 3D2's in SLI.
Guillemot shipped the boards 2-day express for $8.  Not bad.  Their
drivers are a bit behind.... I had to load 3Dfx reference drivers to
fix texturing problems in Thief: The Dark Project demo. EMail from
Guillemot says updated drivers are in the works, no ETA though.
