Moster 3D and Moster 3D II

Are there any problems running these with a 100 mhz board. I seem to remember something about it a few months back, but have since forgotten. I am getting ready to build a new system that will have the 100 mhz board. I currently have a monster 3D and have on order my Monster 3D II. Thanks for the info matt

I made a post recently about a possible problem, but was quickly corrected :) You will only have a problem when overclocking an older motherboard. If you are buying a brand-spanking new P2/350 or 400, the Monsters will work fine. The quick explaination is that the PCI bus speed does not change, its the CPU <-> Memory bus that is at 100MHz Whew, Jason.

Thank you, I have gotten my P2-400 up and running and the only problem was the Monster 3D drivers that I got with the card would corrupt the desk.cpl file until the drivers were removed from the system. This problem was solved by downloading the latest drivers from diamond.
