Hi all,

I've got a Matrox Millenium.  Do the 3d cards you all are talking about 
plug into the millenium??  I keep reading about people using 2 cards.  
Just trying to find out how to speed mine up.  I saw that matrox makes a 
3d "daughter" card but I don't see any posts on it.  I'm only getting 15 
fps, i thought the millenium was "the best" when I bought it.

Thnx
Bill
