Question 1:
I used to have a Hauppage WinTV card that used a passthrough cable to
overlay the tv image on top of my normal graphic card output.
Basically the graphic card would draw a magenta rectangle where the tv
output was meant to be and the tv overlay card would stick the tv
output on top of anything magenta in the right area of the screen. Now
this wasn't perfect but it worked well and meant I could watch tv in a
resizable window. Given the card is 3 years old now I am left
wondering why a 3DFX card could not use a similar system to do 3d in a
window. Any ideas?

Question 2:
What is bump mapping?

Thanks in advance.
