Decisions decisions.. I've just about made my mind up to get an Orchid Pro-designer-II w/1 meg, and either the NEC 3D monitor or the SONY 1304. Anyone out there have experience with this set up? Any comments about which monitor to choose? Is there a better video card to consider? E-Mail welcome. Thanks in advance.

I've had the 1Mb ProII and 1304 combination for 1 month. It works great for our family. The ProII is fast. Several observations: (1) The ProII and 1304 are capable of 1024x768x256 non-interlaced mode. My *understanding* is that the 3D does interlaced only at that resolution. (2) If you're planning to use Win 3.0 in 1024x768 on a 12" monitor, the icons and print get *annoyingly* hard to read. After switching back and forth several times, our family finally settled on the SVGA 800x600x256 non-interlaced mode for Windows. The PC-world consensus seems to be that a 16" monitor is the minimum desired size for the extended 1024 resolution. Doug Dickerson douglas@gandalf.nosc.mil
