Hey,

Will I have any problems with runing games if I have 3D Blaster and Monster
3D in my computer at the same time?
Thanks.

You shouldn't. The 3D Blaster is not much of a 3D card.

Don't the 3D add on cards, Monster, Orchid etc, require connecting to the 2D card
using the VESA feature connector?  If that is true, then I don't think the CL 3D
blaster
will work since (according the 3D Blaster PCI faq page on the CL website) it does
not have the feature connector.  Is this correct?

Don't worrry about a thing. I have been running a CL 3D Blaster and a
Monster 3D for a while now. Not one problem with any games. Just keep up
with the driver updates.

Nope...they connect via the video out on your 2D card.  It gets cabled
in to the 3D card which outputs to your monitor.

Nope, you use a pass through cable.. Goes from the 2D card to the 3D
card to the monitor..
