No known motherboard available to the public can go up to 100 mhz bus speed. >the millenium II is an over-priced piece o' crap. it doesn't perform >better than the MILLENIUM, and it has only marginal 3d performance >upgrades. Actually, it's much faster than the Millenium and it's much cheaper now. You can get a 4MB for less than $200. > A good 2d/3d combo (like a Virge DX or VX card like STB's >velocity 3d 128 or even the velocity 3d which i own and am very >satisfied with) and a diamond monster 3d. Incorrect information. Velocity 3D uses the ViRGE VX. Velocity 128 3D uses a totally different chipset, known as the nVidea Riva 128 chipset. ViRGE is not a good choice. It's 2D is bad and it's 3D even worse. Get a Pure3D or an even better choice would be a Riva 128, or wait till the Rendition Verite 2200, or the banshee.
