Hey, Will I have any problems with runing games if I have 3D Blaster and Monster 3D in my computer at the same time? Thanks. Jure "SMOKKINU3" Zagoricnik Enter FASTLAP competition (www.ivga.com)

You shouldn't. The 3D Blaster is not much of a 3D card. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

Don't the 3D add on cards, Monster, Orchid etc, require connecting to the 2D card using the VESA feature connector? If that is true, then I don't think the CL 3D blaster will work since (according the 3D Blaster PCI faq page on the CL website) it does not have the feature connector. Is this correct? Rob

Nope...they connect via the video out on your 2D card. It gets cabled in to the 3D card which outputs to your monitor. -- Neil Yeatman Ajax, Ontario, CANADA
Nope, you use a pass through cable.. Goes from the 2D card to the 3D card to the monitor.. Ben -={ To get my real email address, remove the NOSPAM }=- SPAMMERS!!! Read this!!! No spam for me!
