XCOM Interceptor 3DFX Question

I've had some problems with the 3D Acceleration in Interceptor.  For those of
you with a Monster3D, which of the following do you select in the Setup screen
for Interceptor?:  (These are the three options I have available)

1.  Primary Video Card-No 3D Acceleration

2.  **Primary Display Driver-3D Enabled

3.  3DFX DirectX5 Driver

  I can select #1 and #3, but not #2 (I'm told that it's not a 3D device).  

  Basically, my question is this:  Is #3 the choice to make if a 3DFX card is
installed?  If so, what is #2 for?

  And man, I've been around long enough to know that Microprose isn't nearly
what it used to be, but I thought they'd at least include some decent help
files.  All I've been able to find (in the game files after installation and on
the CD) is a Readme.  Am I missing something?  I couldn't even find any info in
the manual that came with the game (on the display adapter issue).  the
website's just as bad.

  Thanks for your help,

  Frank
