Andy,
I've been drooling over this card ever since Boot magazine did a
preview on a V2200 "reference" card. They didn't ID the card but it was
the Hercules Thriller 3D. I keep in touch with the good folks at
Hercules and have been informed that the the Thriller will be available
in both 4 & 8meg versions, PCI and AGP.Yes, you read that right, 8meg
AGP. Just the idea of an 8meg AGP card gets me pretty e***d. The AGP's
should be available by the end of January.
I run a PII/300 AGP with 128megs of SDRAM. That said, I yanked out the
two different AGP cards I've tried and am running off the PCI bus. The
present AGP cards stink (Nvidia Riva 128), I can't wait to try the
Thriller. FYI, Jazz Multimedia is getting ready to release the Outlaw 3D
(V2200) in the same configurations as the Thriller and at about the same
time. I think I'll pick up one of each and run 'em through their paces!
