Hi, I am about to get myself a new computer (it will be a 500Mhz I think) esp. for playing all the latest games and I am trying to figger out what graphic card(s) to get. I have 2 questions: 1/ is it still best to go with 2 separate cards (a 2D and a 3D card)? If so, I think I would get a Voodoo II or III card as my 3D card, cause it still seems the card most compatible with games I would like to buy, but I don't know which brand is best?!!. Also, which 2D card would best fit with the Voodoo card you suggest?! 2/ or will a 2D/3D card be equally good, and if so, which is the leader here? PS: should I buy AGP or PCI cards? PS2: is it true that if you use a 3D card like Voodoo 2, this can distort your 2D card in higher resolutions? what's the story and is there anything you can do about this? Any good suggestions are very welcome!! Thanks alot!! Greetings, Luc.
