After yesterday's announcement from 3Dfx, GameSpot News received questions from readers who wanted to know more about what the Voodoo 2 graphics card meant for them.

　　Freddie Gutierrez asked: Can you connect the old Voodoo cards (Monster 3D) to the new Voodoo 2? Or do we have to throw away our old Voodoo cards?

　　3Dfx answered by saying that it will continue to support the current line of popular Voodoo cards and the support isn't just going away. Since the Voodoo 2 isn't a version 1.5 of the Voodoo chipset, if you want to gain speed with the Voodoo, you'll need to buy the new board since it won't connect to the original Voodoo board.

　　David Morton asked: I'd be interested to know if 3Dfx is planning a discounted hardware upgrade for those of us who already own the current chip (Monster 3D, in my case).

　　3Dfx basically is responsible for the technology and not so much the selling part of the game. Diamond Multimedia has announced that it will make a Monster 3D board with the Voodoo 2 chipset but hasn't let anyone know if it is planning to allow current users to get a discounted upgrade. You'll have to wait and see what happens.

　　Constantine Georges asked: I am left wondering if the chipset supports windowed acceleration, or if it is a full-screen-only solution.

　　The Voodoo 2 will still be a full-screen-only solution.

　　Robert Camp asked: How do you do two boards in an AGP arrangement?

　　When I asked 3Dfx, it responded that if you had an AGP board that had the Voodoo 2 chip in it, you wouldn't be able to reap the benefits of having two boards. It suggested that the PCI board was the board that was being more focused on for now. One side note is the fact that you can do multiple monitors with the board. If you have your normal monitor running on your 2D AGP card, your Voodoo card can run another monitor that will allow you to play anything on the full screen.
