Screamin 3d...should I get another video card for 3dfx games?

Hi
I have a Rendition based Sierra screamin 3d card....been more than
happy with the Papyrus sims....but I'm confused as to whether to get a
dedicated 3dfx card since I'm not sure if my current card is
compatible?I'd ideally like to run the Papyrus sims as I do at the
moment but would like to get the best of both worlds!
Anyone have any thoughts out there?

It'll work fine. All the Rendition-native stuff will be overlooked by
the 3DFX card. The Direct 3D stuff will be handled by the 3DFX, which
does it much faster than the Rendition.

I used the Monster/Screamin' 3D combo for a few months, although I'm
now using a Monster/ET6000 combo.
