Correct. There is no DAC (digital-analog converter) so there is no way to spit
out things to your analog based monitor. It leaves this up to the other, full
featured, Voodoo 2 card. The board is only the V2 chipset itself. A great idea,
however I'm rather irked for two reasons. 1, they are only selling them direct.
They want $149.99 for a MegaMonster, yet Buycomp.com sells a plain Monster II
for $159.99. And second, so many no name companies have come up designs based on
the reference board (and they all perform equally) that it'd almost be cheaper
for me to buy two Taiwanese boards than one crippled Monster II. Grumble.
