I have a GB3D at work (Laguna based) and while its Windows speed (using
Winbench 97) isn't bad, its DOS game speed is sucko!  (Like not much more
than 1/2 of a Matrox card - or my Diamond 3D using S3VBE20!).  The Mystique
is coming down in price again, I've seen 4M versions UNDER $130 at a show
last weekend, save your money and wait a bit longer.

Winbench of GB3D: Using 208MMX is 60 @ 256 colors, 47-48 in hi-color, and
36-37 in 24bit True-Color.  Chris Dial's BENCH shows 80fps & SVGABNCH shows
like 35! (Diamond give like 170 fps in BENCH & around 80 in SVGABNCH!)
