A friend of mine recently bought the Banshee...it works great in my opinion (and I have a monster 3d 2). It's not quite as fast as my V2 but it looks just as good, maybe better. We've got Unreal and Half-Life and Quake2 working great with it. Quake 2 is the only one that liked 800x600. The others had to be notched down. He has 200MMX + 32MB I'd say for $100 it was a great addition to his system. As far as their 2D capabilities...he's running at 1024x768 with no problems. All the colors are nice and crisp.... Seems like a great card for the money to me.. -Dustin Ambrose Scafidi wrote in message <366286E9.1C08350D@iinet.net.au>... >Hiya all.. > Been scouring the newsgroups and web over the past few days looking for >info about voodoo2 banshee cards....
