I *almost* got sucked into buying the Creative "Blaster 3D" a couple of
weeks ago until I went back and read a bunch of r.a.s posts regarding
this card (thanks guys!). I think it is a crock that a company would
market two different cards with such similar names: the "Blaster 3D"
(junk) and the "3D Blaster" (Vrit chip). It seems like an obvious
attempt to deceive.
