I have a friend that has a PC with a 12MB Creative Labs Voodoo 2 video card. I have an old spare one of the same make and model kicking around with an SLI cable.

I want to put my old card into his machine and hook them up SLI. Does he need to install drivers for the “new” Voodoo 2 getting installed in his machine or does it just slave to the old one and use those drivers?

The reason I ask is that both he and I do not have a driver CD. So, I need to know if I need to download them before I go to his place and install the card as he doesn’t have an internet connection.

You’ll probably find them under [here somewhere.](http://www.voodoofiles.com/3dfxhelp.asp) I suggest sticking with the latest reference drivers–Creative Labs has a disturbing tendency to put the barest minimum of effort into drivers and product development.
