with the new chips comming out it isn't a good idea to buy an older piece
of equipment without being a heavy gamer.  but if you want a good card with
a good chip in it (the best you can get for 100 bucks) then go ahead and
buy the monster.  or for some more money by a hercules 128/3d with the 3dfx
chip in dere.  that is good too but it is a complete replacement.
