The only game I really play is Microsoft Flight Simulator 98.  I was
wondering if you really need a 3D accelerator in addition to a 3D graphics
card?  The Dell I am looking at comes standard with the STB nVidia 128ZX
Velocity card, yet the Quantex I am looking at comes standard with the
MPact2 video card.  Both have 8 MB Ram, but the Quantex also includes a 12
MB Voodoo2 card for about the same price as the Dell.  I am just wondering
if the Voodoo2 card is really necessary?  Thanks.
