Sorry to hear that.  I have a shuttle 569 (rev 2.0) and TWO Creative
Labs Voodoo2s SLIIed without any problems.  As the CL cards are simply
based on the 3Dfx reference design (as are the vast majority of the
cards on the market) these boards SHOULD fit.  Your problem could be due
to the size of your heatsink.  Mine is an AAVID and though it's close,
there is a BIT of a gap.  Btw, running a K6-2, 266.
