Further question to this subject.
I have 3D Blaster PCI, which has 2D/3D capability, and I plan to buy
Diamond Monster 3D 2,
and since I don't have any experience with add-on 3D card before and never
seen the board,
I'm wondering how is the connection between the old card and the add-on 3D
card made ?

Or can anybody point me to a web site which explain this ?
