Monster 3d....Yes or no???

The Canopus Pure3D is the best performer. It may be a bit more expensive, but it has an addition 2MB of texture memory and also a TV-output. [link lost in import] -- Eric T. Busch [link lost in import]

I dunno how many times I have asked this and got no response.. Maybe this time? :) Is the Canopus a retail card, meaning can I buy it at the store, or do I have to mail order or what? I've not seen them in my area (Nashville, TN.. ), and I'd like to pick one up to sell my M3D.. Is this a wise idea? Ben -={ To get my real email address, remove the NOSPAM }=- SPAMMERS!!! Read this!!! No spam for me! Unwanted, unsolicited commmercial email WILL be dealt with.. And, why the hell do you even bother sending the shit if you don't include your own return address?

Pretty sure you gotta get the Canopus through them direct, although there is also the PC Zone which I think is doing orders also for them. It's $179, but you can get a Monster (retail) for close to that. With the Monster you will get a game bundle (which is now old stuff - MW2, D2, etc.). With the Canopus you will get an extra 2MB of memory, a TV output (I think), but no games. If you already have the games in the Monster, or don't particularly like them, then the Canopus is the obvious choice.

I was told by a Canopus Tech that Canopus' Pure3D will eventually be available at retail outlets....but they are still having problems keeping up with direct mail orders so it may be awhile. Aaron

I've seen the Monster 3D for $139 mail order... but if you've made it this far you should wait for voodoo 2

In the back of some game computer mag... I was disappointed because I just bought mine.... Always look in the back of those mags
