Hi, I was thinking I would muh rather put a voodoo5 in my soon-to-be new computer than the rage 128 which comes with it. How could I run my computer with both of them? is it possible? or would I have to remove the rage

You can run the computer with both of them, of course, the monitor can only be connected to only one of the video cards, unless you have 2 monitors, one of them will be useless.

You won't need to disable the drivers from the card your monitor is not connected too. I do wonder how fast the Voodoo 5 is going to be. Too bad it is PCI. Maybe by the time it comes out Apple will be putting a better AGP card into the new G4s.

Supposedly, the Voodoo 4 & 5 AGP are only 1x AGP anyway, so there probably wouldn't be much difference in speed between the AGP and PCI versions (especially in a 66mhz PCI slot). I assume they're banking on having enough high speed video memory on the cards to hold all the textures etc. for everything, rather than trying to update it from main memory all the time.
