And I can just forget about running a pair > of Voodoos in SLI because the damn CPU is in the way!! :( 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. Ty
