Help monster 3d II/Monster sound

3 posts by 3 people · 20 Aug 1998 - 21 Aug 1998

Hello, I have a Sony 200mhz w/64ram, Intense 3d and a Monster3d. Would I gain anything by going with a new Monster 3d II, or would I be better off upgrading my motherboard and processer, to like a 100mhz bx board and a 350 or 400mhz P2. If I go with the monster 3d II is it backward compatiable with the older 3dfx games. My main games are racing, can't wait for GPL, and Nascar3 Also has anyone tried the Monster sound cards? Thanks Mj

Upgrade your mobo and processor...then buy the voodoo II's...I just got the Monster MX-200 and it absolutely rocks. The 3 D positional audio is like having DTS for your PC. However, the Monster Sound is not compatible with Nascar 2. You have to use your old dos based card for it. I can't wait for Nascar 3!!! >Hello, I have a Sony 200mhz w/64ram, Intense 3d and a Monster3d. >Would I gain anything by going with a new Monster 3d II, or would I be >better off upgrading my motherboard and processer, to like a 100mhz bx board

You probably should upgrade the motherboard to a BX chipset board. Abit makes a great BX board called thw BH6 for around $100. Also pick up an Intel PII 400 or faster CPU. And you'll need some PC100 SDRAM for the 400 to run at 100bus. You may want to get a 3dfx voodoo2 also. The upgrade should cost you under $1000 and really increase the speed of your system by 2-3 times faster then what you are running now.
