    Is it possible, I have an orchid v2 and can't get another one, it works with reference drivers. I was wondering if I got another v2 card for cheap that also worked with reference drivers would the 2 of them work in sli. Has anyone done this with 2 different brands of v2 cards.

    im not sure.
    ive heard it can done, but its very difficult
    maybe you need 2 cards that are based on the same drivers. eg 3dfx drivers etc

    i remember someone posting once that they had it done.
    may have been kali or koopa or one of the quakeheads

    Yup, it can be done. Just use the latest 3dfx ref. drivers (Actually any from about a year ago should to the trick). Metabyte did it first for their glasses/drivers and 3dfx integrated it.
    You can apparently even get 2 dif. memory configs working but methinks it'd pretty damn flakey (Plus you'd lose 4mb from a 12mb card for nothing).
