I just built a similar rig with SD instead of RDRAM
because gently caress RDRAM forever I burnt my hand on one of those loving things.

it has voodoo 2 sli too.

do they have slot�1 boards with both dual CPU and dual AGP? voodoo 2 was pretty obsolete in 2000 tho

Dual AGP never existed, Voodoo 2 was PCI.
It is obsolete, but for Glide supporting games a Voodoo 2 SLi will fuckin' destroy. It's backed by a Geforce 2 GTS in the AGP slot.
This system is fuckin' nuts it has two audio cards (One for windows, one DOS) 3 video cards (Voodoo 2 SLi + GF2) two processors.

I love it it's the machine an idiot with more money than sense woulda built in tyool 2000

DUAL 933 MHZ PROCESSORS*

*literally nothing made at the time for a consumer will ever use the second one lmao

Still, the single socket-370 P3 I used fuckin' went up and died so I asked a friend and got this instead. I enjoy playing poo poo like Baldurs Gate downstairs on oldputers sometimes, especially when the weather is absurdly hot.

oh, sounds pretty cool, actually

I used to have a Yamaha sound card that was technically both dos and windows it used a different Irq than normal so if you couldn't manually specify it for the games you didn't get anything

also my CPUs are 1 Ghz :c00l:

and my full gigabyte of rdram is ecc registered :c00lbutt:

I hope you have a script running that makes sure the system clock never strays out of this range, for maximum nostalgia
