which is the best 3dfx board do get, assuming money is no object, and what
are the different types of 3dfx chipsets, like terms like rush and voodoo?
help!
thanks

I bought a Diamond Monster 3d for $199. It uses the Voodoo Chipset.
I'm very happy with it. 3dfx is definatly the way to go.

Just buy the Canopus Pure 3D

Trust me, its a no-brainer

I know all about 3dfx cards
but I'm fed up of explaining in detail so
I now post the bottom line only.

Get the Miro Hiscore 3D (the same as Canopus Pure 3D). You can verify this at
Tom's Hardware Guide, http:/sysdoc.pair.com.

I have had my Canopus Pure 3D and Total 3D 128V for about 2 weeks now.

I build systems and sell equipment and yes, since I'm not really paying the
bill, money is no object.  The Canopus products have traditionally been the
Cream of the Crop.  The drivers are allways well written.   The products are
allways the fastest in their class.  The Pure 3D has 8MB Ram on it for
greater texture storage and faster performance with greater detail.

As stated above in the thread,  it's a no brainer,  get the Canopus Pure 3D.

PS.  The Canopus Total 3D 128v in 1280x1024 running the Wintune 97 gets 136M
Pixels Per Second With My Intel P233 MMX,   and to be certain, the 233MMX is
the slowest of the CPU's in the 233 range I've tested.  The AMD K6 in my
system is a KILLER!  The Intel is going south soon.
