I'm currently exploring possibilities regarding monitors for the Mac II series.  I have been impressed with the NEC 3D monitor and am wondering about monitor
cards.  Particularly,

1)  I have heard that the built-in card of the ci makes it much slower than it would be with other cards.  I am therefore interested in something that won't
slow me down too much, BUT

2)  I don't have a lot of money to spend.  I wouldn't want to go much over the $600 I would spend for the 8.24 video board from Apple.  How fast is this board?

Other monitor recommendations are of course welcome.  I don't know if this is of general enough interest to justify posting responses, but I will read them here or in email.  Thanks in advance!

Michael
