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 ? rrunner <rrunner@tso4u.com> wrote in article <6m6485$50d$1@supernews.com>... > I have a Dell Dimension XPR 400 with the 4meg NVIDIA 128 AGP card and the > 12meg Diamond Monster 3DII.
