Actually, the term "Mega Monster" refers to a special Voodoo 2 add in card
that compliments your original Monster Card.  The Mega monster card can not
operate of it's own, you have to already have a Diamond Monster.  The Mega
Monster card is virtually the same as a regular card, however, is missing a
component (not sure what?) that would not be used anyways when running in
SLI.   When you order the Mega Monster (either 8meg or 12) all you get is
the card.  There are no games, pass through cable, SLI cable etc..  It is
actually a very good setup designed only for SLI.  Those stating the term
Mega Monster is simply Diamond's referal to SLI are wrong!  It is a bare
bones 2nd Monster card to give you SLI.   As far as I know, you can only get
the Mega Monster card from Diamond directly.  I have searched everywhere and
can not find it at any retailer.
