Canopus has a good combo for that, they have their Total3d rendition card,
and their Pure 3d 3dfx pass through card, both are excellent, and they sell
both in a bundle for 299.00. I doubt you'd go wrong with that deal. Check
it out at www.canopuscorp.com.

Hercules Thriller 3D and a Canopus Pure 3D (or any other 3Dfx card if
you're waiting out for Voodoo 2 - expected in April 98)

I just read a review up at Gamecenter praising
the Diamond Stealth II S220.
http://gamecenter.com/Hardware/Roundup/3dcards2/ss01a.html
Be sure you click on the "tell me more" link at the bottom of the
page, since they had some negative things to say about it as well.
I know I saw the card locally (Seattle) for $99, so add that to an
Orchid Righteous for $155 and you've got a $254 solution.

The Canopus Pure 3D has certainly gotten the 3D nod
w/ it's 6MB of memory for $179.

That combined with the Stealth II S220 would
probably be a nice setup if I had $278. I don't know
how that compares with Canopus' own combo
of their Total 3D & Pure 3D which runs $299.
(The Total 3D is Rendition)  With only a $20
price difference I guess I'd want to see if there
was any kind of performance difference between
the Total 3D and the Stealth II S220.

This shows info on all the Canopus offerings:

    No 3D yet, but that's the next upgrade.
