Q:

DO YOU NEED ONE OF THE EXPENSIVE VIDEO CARDS, IE. RIVA 128, VIPER 330, ATI PRO PRIMARY CARDS? MAYBE I MEANT "WANT" INSTEAD OF "NEED".I GUESS WHAT I'M ASKING IS, WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST HANGING THE MONSTER ON. 

A:

Joe...I haven't seen anything the Monster won't work with so far. The Viper 330 is about the same price ($199) and performance, albeit the Viper has some very significant advantages over the Monster - like blazing 2d speed!!! So if you have an "old" 2d card, I'd go Viper (or ATI either one). If you wait about a month, the Monster II will be out and prices on Monsters will fall some. If you want the absolute best available right now, buy a Viper (ATI) AND a Monster. That little combo will handle anything!
