Hello all.
I returned a product at COMP USA recently and have a credit I'd like to
use on a new 2D/3D video card.  Trouble is COMP USA has a very limited
selection of boards.  I also currently need a board capable of 3D
because my son wants one of the newer NFL games which states '3D card
required'.  My son has a few games (not many) that would benefit a 2D
card but only one (NFL) for the 3D.  I also do a fair amount of
internet/web surfing so perhaps a 2D/3D card might be of some limited
use here also.

I sure could use some suggestions on what might best suit us with the
available cards COMP USA has, as follows:

1) Hercules Thriller 3D ($149)
2) Hercules Stingray 128/3D ($129)
3) ATI XPERT98 ($79)
4) They also may have a Creative Labs 3D card ($?)

Sorry, but I'm confused about the VooDoo2 vs. Banshee issues/benefits.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Walter
