Hi Bob, No, you can't attach a Banshee card to a V2 card in what's called "SLI mode" to get better performance. In fact, to get SLI mode, you need to have two V2 cards that are identical - same manufacturer, same amount of texture memory. In theory, you could use a Banshee card as your main 2D board and then pass the video into one (or two!) Voodoo2 boards that provide the 3D support. Not sure if the drivers will support this kind of setup or not. Kinda expensive solution though... Chip
