The ET6000 is renowned for it's impressive 2D performance, but : it still goes good with the 3D, but not as good as some (such as 3DFX : chipsets etc). There is the ET6300 which has a 3D chipt set included, and : that would be a worthy item of interest in many a tech's mind. That's bullshit, ET6000 is not so fast, it's a little bit faster than S3 ViRGE DX (5%-10%) but has no 3D functions (Jedi Knight without mip maping fog and others looks crappy), so much better would be S3 ViRGE (good 2D and some 3D functions). -- "Warto zajrzec w paszcze Smierci, tylko po to, aby wyrwac jej zlote zeby" - Hrun Barbarzynca http://class1.phys.uni.torun.pl/~rawdall rawdall@class1.phys.uni.torun.pl
