Speaking of 3d drivers – what video card would you recommend? Currently, I'm using a #9 GXE64. I'm thinking about getting an MGA Impression + 4M, but am wondering as to the value gained from it considering its high price (> $600 mail order). Also, I'm concerned that in its 3d acceleration modes, even with 4 megs, its max color depths are only 1152x864x256 and 800x600x64k. On top of that, it has terrible DOS performance – but I guess I could disable VGA on the Impression and keep using the GXE64 for that. Are there any other 3d cards coming out soon? I've been hearing about 3d cards on the horizon for some time now, but I haven't seen any except for the Matrox.
