Ok guys, you talked me into it.  I had a look round and researched the
Voodoo cards some more and finally agree that they look like the way
forward.  Now this begs the question:-

Do I buy a Diamond Monster 3D/Orchid Righteous 3D and run it alongside
my Mystique or do I ditch the Mystique and buy a Hercules Stingray
128/3D which has both 2D and 3D through the Voodoo Rush chipset.

All comments and suggestions gratefully accepted.

From what I've seen, the Hercules card was a rush job (no pun intended) and
comes with buggy drivers and no VESA 2.0 support (a software solution will
be out soon, probably the next version of SciTech's Display Doctor).  A few
other companies will be making cards using the Rush chip, most noteably
Orchid, so perhaps these will be of better quality.  Keep in mind that the
only thing you miss by using the other Voodoo cards is 3D in a Window,
which for the most part really isn't a big deal.  If you're happy with the
Mystique then this might be the way to go.
