Hey, all. Have a question I'm sure you brilliant Netizens can help me with.

I just bought a new Pentium II 266. Yeah, yeah, I know ... your Pentium 
400 kicks the snot out of it. It's still a lot cooler than what I had, 
and it was pretty cheap, too.

I have in my old machine an original Monster 3D. My first impulse was to 
just transfer the card, but I'm starting to wonder if that's the most 
proper thing to do.

How much of a real-world performance jump would I see if I bought, say, 
one of the upcoming Canopus cards or a Monster II with 12mb? If the 
perfomance hike is extreme enough, I may cough up the cash.

Is the image quality any better on current software? Inquiring minds want 
to know. :) 


Brian
