Did he say whether or not we would have to ditch our existing video board.  I
just bought a new $600 dollar one which I am very happy with.  I wouldn't want
to have to get rid of it to get 3D acceleration which doesn't have to be built
into a video card.  Does the CL 3D blaster or the Diamond board allow existing
Video boards to function?
