Here's an decision I have to make for a friend,

Do I install a Voodoo2 from Scan (badged Mercury) alongside his Matrox
Millenium 2 - 230 dac

or do I buy a new Creative Labs PCI TNT card and put the Matrox and
Voodoo2  into another machine.

Price will be about the same whichever option I choose.

The machine it's going into is a Pentium 233mmx on an Asus TX board
with 64mb of ram.

This machine will not be upgrade for at least a year and there is no
pressure on pci slots

What do you think


Regards

Brian
