Amy's Voodoo 2 card needs some help! She contacted me asking for help. This Voodoo 2 was sent to her a few years ago. However, the sender didn't package the card well and it got damaged in transit. In today's video, I am attempting to fix my first Voodoo 2. This card is equipped with 12MB, 110 MHz memory - so, it is worth a shot!
