I noticed at the local CompUSA that the Diamond Monster 3d Voodoo II 8
meg card is $149 minus a $50 mail in rebate through the store.  I
currently have a Diamond Stealth II S220 (Rendition Verite 2100) 4 meg
card.  Would adding the Voodoo 2 8 meg for $99 be a good investment in
preparation for the upcoming GPL, MGP, and NASCAR 99--as well as flight
sims such as WWII Fighters from EA?  The 12 meg card is still at $249 at
the same store.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Yup. I've run GPL, for instance, on both.  The difference is not subtle, and a
lot more games support the Voodoo cards than the Rendition ones.  Additonally,
using a 3D-only card gives you the option of updating your Stealth II later if
you choose.  Its 2D performance is not so great, IMO.

Not only yes, but Hell Yes.  Went there the other night and couldn't
believe it.  Bought mine July 6th, and paid 219.00, and at that time
the Monster 1 was $99
