Well, let's put it this way - I have 2 M3D IIs in SLI and in UNREAL running at 1024 x 768, we're looking at 40 fps... Sure the Canopus PURE 3D IIs may give me a faster frame rate but I know I paid much LESS for the two of mine...;-) Besides, when I had the PURE 3Ds, some games had problems with Canopus drivers - and yes, their legendary tech support came out with patches... but personally, I prefer not to deal with the issues of d/l patches and etc etc IMHO. Besides, anything outside 32 FPS is negligible right? Bob
