I havnt researched 3d cards yet  but I want to get one, can someone give
me some recomendations, at present I have a 4meg ATI Graphics pro turbo
PCI, I have heard that these new cards are slower in Win/NT. Would I be
better off running 2 cards one for *** and one for apps and having a
monitor switch ???
Thanks for any replies  :)

you probably should get a 3dfx add-on cards...it is used when
requested (3d) otherwise your older card is doing the job (anything
not accelerated for the 3dfx card) There is a new card out which is
like 149$...pretty cheap compared to the others...I dont have much
more info though. There are specialists here who will surely answer
all of your questions

see you

Well, unless you are a fanatic sim racer (ICR2, NASCAR2). If that's
the case, you have to get a Rendition Verite board!

If you don't care for these, you should go with a Voodoo board.

After reading reviews about GLQuake, I am sure I will have one to
join my Intense 3D very soon. 8^)
