  I have a K6-2 350, Maxigamer 3d2 12 meg.  I have no regrets,  works fine.
I dont know what I would do if I were you,  but if I never planned on going
SLI I might opt for the Banshee.    I ordered it from there website and had
it here in 4 days, so yes I am satisafied.
BTW the Voodoo2 card is 99$ after rebate the banshee is 89$  after rebate.
