Monster3D advice and info PLEASE!

Could someone who has a Monster3D please tell me how you like it and how
good it works with all of the racing sims, as-well-as 3D games?  I am
looking for a good 3D card and want something that is compatible with
everything, for under $200.

P.S. (when games such as Monster Truck Madness and CART PR say "Use
Hardware Acceleration", does this take advantage of a card such as the
Monster3D?

CART and Monster Truck use Monster 3d (hereafter refered to as a 3dfx card)
but neither are good games. The Kings of the hill are from Papyrus and use
the 3d features of Rendition card to work magic. BUT WAIT: 3dfx is
technically superior and the defacto standard for all FUTURE games, almost
100% of new flight sims use 3dfx to accelerate the game. So will Nascar 3
and all future games from Papyrus.

The 3dfx cards (including Monster 3d) are all incredible and will give you
so much pleasure it is incredible EXCEPT (boo-hoo) on car racing games right
now. That will all change in a HURY within the next 2-6 months.
