In buona sostanza e molto in breve!
Uscirà la MonsterII
Uscirà pressappoco a marzo
Costerà 250$
Avra 8MB di Ram (4 per il framebuffer e 4 per le texture)
Ergo supporterà il gioco in 800*600 65000 colori con z-buffering
Si potranno mettere due schede in parallelo e sfruttare la doppia
accelerazione.
Secondo la casa dovrebbe far girare i giochi a 60fps
Cià tutte le opzioncine del voodoo1 e sfrutterà tutte le librerie 3d
comprese le glide esattamente come il voodoo1.
Questa saranno i giochi in bundle
