Hmm... Someone at work was going on about how he had 3 cards in his
machine -- one for 2d, one for 3d (3dfx) and one for DVD + the Banshee
is supposed to be all so cool because it's got 3D+2D support. So, I assume
if it supports 2d, it doesn't do it too well, or there would not be that much
fuss about it.

Do you have more details on this?
