If you want accelerated 3D, your only choice is some kind of Voodoo
accelerator card at the moment, unless you shell out for Accelerated X and
whatnot.

The resolution you require just scream "Matrox Millenioum". I have a G200
which is a 2D/3D combo card, which works _extremely_ well. Probably the
best value card these days.

You'll find that everybody has an opinion!
