In all of the benchmarks I've seen, the Revolution is better at 2D, the Diamond better at 3D. > this AGP card play glquake and therefor GLQOOLE? He also told me my > monster 3d add on card would not work with an AGP card. GLQoole currently only supports 3Dfx Glide. A later version will likely support Direct3D and OpenGL. Matt
