So which of these 2 3D accelerators will be better? I already have a 
Matrox Millennium, which I just bought. If I buy the Diamond Edge (out 
later october) I will have to scrap the Millennium. But if I buy the 3D 
Blaster (PCI version out sometime in 96) I can keep the Millennium. Also, 
the Diamond Edge has built-in wavetable, and I already have a SB AWE-32. 
I'd like to keep the SB since I am somewhat leary of cards that are not 
100% SB compatible. Which accelerator chip is better/more powerful, 3D 
Blaster's or the Edge's? The one advantage of the Edge is that it will be 
out several months before the 3D Blaster, that is why I am leaning 
towards the Edge. I hope that there will be a way to disable the audio 
feature of the Edge so I can keep my SB AWE-32.

Your thoughts/opinions are appreciated!
