I finally broke down and got a Monster 3d II 12MB to go with my Riva
128 ZX. My initial thought on looking at the board was "wow I wish I
hadn't crammed my AT board into a minitower just so I could put it on my
desk, this thing will never fit". It did fit though and after I
restarted the computer with the board in it I just pointed Win98 at the
folder where I had installed the 3dfx reference drivers, restarted and
it worked perfectly, the total time for installation and setup was about
5 minutes. I would put the difficulty level of installation on about the
same level as setting up an iMac, plug it in and turn it on. Overall I
can say that I am quite impressed with its performance on my overclocked
233mmx. My 128zx ran Quake quite well and looked very good in D3d
especially the newer games, although it did have issues with a couple of
D3D games most notably Tombraider which had to be tweaked to look good,
but even the newest D3D game I have tried looks just as good or better
with the Voodoo and runs smoother. Though I haven't tried Quake II yet
on the VooDoo, the Sin Demo looks fantastic. Overall I am quite
impressed with the board. I just purchased Jane's F15 and although it is
not a "wow" type game graphics wise, its overall look and feel are
superb, making it worth the fact it is going to take me forever to learn
to fly well. I am currently trying to figure out a 3D Game to get that
shows off the 3dfx Graphics and am considering Unreal but I am not sure
if the overclocked 233 will run that game well, any suggestions on a
good game would be appreciated. I have switched over to the most recent
release of the Diamond drivers because they are mostly the same drivers
as the 3dfx reference plus you get the overclocking slider. The more I
use the Voodoo the more I am liking it, now all I need is a G200 so I
can have the best of both worlds and of course a BX board and faster
processor. One last thought is that considering I got an excellent price
on both the 128 zx ($99) and the Monster II, ($135 including shipping
and after rebate) my total cost has been not much more than a Millennium
II 4MB about 6 or 7 months ago.
