Ok, Ok... I'm not disatisfied with my CLAP Geforce DDR, I love it, but I've been hearing that Diablo 2 runs a lot smoother in glide. I've managed to get a V2 for virtually nothing, and have a couple quick Q's about using it with my CLAP: - If both cards aere in my computer, I can disable the V2's D3D support, can't I? - In order to run any prog in Glide, does my monitor need to be plugged into the V2 output? -If #2 is yes, does that mean I need to switch what my monitor is plugged into everytime I boot up Win98, depending on what I want to do/play? if all of this is just a hassle, I'll just throw the V2 in my g/f's computer, but I'd like to see if I can just eeek a little better performance for D2, since I'm addicted to the damn game right now, anyway. Thanks in advance, Andrew

I believe D3 can be disabled for V2, but most games let you choose anyway. The V2 uses a passthrough cable, so you connect the GF to it, then the the V2 to the monitor.

My Iiyama monitor has two inputs, one regular DSUB connection and one higher quality coax like connection. I use the DSUB for my Voodoo 2 and the coax input for my 2D card. This way I can use my Voodoo 2 without a passthru cable and without image quality loss.

Diablo II runs nice and fast on my Geforce SDR, so I would expect a DDR Gf would be fine?
