What 3D hardware?

Hi folks!

Somewhat vague question (!) but does anyone have any idea what 3D
graphics accelerator hardware Q2 is going to support?

I know little about the 3D hardware market (not through lack of reading
about it!) so what's hot? and what's not?

Is there anything coming out in the next few months in the realm of 3D
accelerators that is likely to blow the competition away?

Cheers

You will probably be better of going with a card that has good support now.
EX:  Voodoo Graphics
I own a Voodoo Rush and it is slower than the VG but it is a one card
design.  If you have the available slots you will be better off with the
Voodoo and a good 2d card.
I don't know when the new products are coming out, but they are surely
going to be better.  However, when you buy very new hardware you will
usually have to wait for optimized drivers and game support, causing many
headaches and abnormal vein bursting.
