Are there any problems running these with a 100 mhz board.  I seem to
remember something about it a few months back, but have since
forgotten.  I am getting ready to build a new system that will have the
100 mhz board.  I currently have a monster 3D and have on order my
Monster 3D II.

Thanks for the info

I made a post recently about a possible problem, but was quickly
corrected :)

You will only have a problem when overclocking an older motherboard.

If you are buying a brand-spanking new P2/350 or 400, the Monsters
will work fine.  The quick explaination is that the PCI bus speed
does not change, its the CPU <-> Memory bus that is at 100MHz

Whew,
Jason.

Thank you,

I have gotten my P2-400 up and running and the only problem was the Monster
3D drivers that I got with the card would corrupt the desk.cpl file until the
drivers were removed from the system.  This problem was solved by downloading
the latest drivers from diamond.
