Q:

SO THE STB VELOCITY 128 WILL RUN THROUGH MY MATROX, THEN? NOW I'M REALLY CONFUSED...GUESS I HAVEN'T DONE MY HOMEWORK ON 3D CARDS, HAVE I? :-) 

A:

As far as I know, the Monster 3D is the only 3D card (discussed here thus far) that is an add-on 3D card. The combined 3D/2D cards will not work with your existing card.

Before buying my Diamond Viper, I had toyed with the idea of buying a Monster 3D instead, but here's why I chose the Viper: 

1) The Monster 3D does not support windowed views (it only works in full
screen mode).

2) The Monster 3D does not support resolutions greater than 800x600.

3) The Viper *does* support windowed views and higher resolution, *and*
is an excellent 2D card also.

4) The Viper was only $10 more than the Monster 3D (I picked mine up for
$199 about a month ago, and I have seen them for $189 via mail order).
