Just saw a article on a new Diamond Monster 3D add-on card in Dec 96
Windows Sources Magazine, ( Page 132)                                      

         Anyone have this card or know anything about it?

                                                                     Sounds
like quite a card, but not cheap.
I was going to try the Reactor (also in the article, and with a high rating
for cost for the performance)  that seems to be the choice of this group,
but maybe the Diamond should be considered as another choice?
.    
    Any opinions or information appreciated!

 Thanks!

The monster 3d is a Voodoo based card, and therefore does not support NCR2 or
ICR2.  The Reactor is the card of choice because it's a) available right now,  
b) supported by NCR2 and ICR2 and and b) it's only $159.

Hey  !
You burnt the following into my screen :

ROTFL !
The Monster3D doesn't support the native version of ICR2 but it should be able (and it will)
to support ANY Win95 Direct3D game at an incredible speed !
a) It's also available right now !(Information is fast on the 'NET!)

b) One point for you !, the M3D and R3D are the Ferraris in a class of Japanese cars !!!

And please all messages via Email back to the Author too !!!
Thanks !
