I am using a VOODOO video card current, and I am going to upgrade the motherboard. The mother board I am getting is DDR ram supportive. And my VOODOO video card is required SDR ram. Will they be capbility if i upgrade my motherboard?

Does your VooDoo card have onboard ram?? if so then you there shouldn't be any problems. I would look at upgrading the videocard as well. There are a look of good inexpensive videocards out there. http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.html?i=1608&p=1
is a good site and has alot of video cards that are inexpensive. Also theres ebay.

Yeah, agreed on the upgrade the video card. The Voodoo line is so horribly outdated that even a cheap Radeon 9000 (non-pro) would be a GIGANTIC upgrade, and less than $90. Or for even cheaper, you could get a GeForce2 or Radeon 7500 for around $50 now.
