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
