The "Mega Montser" does not include a RAMDAC or VGA out connector.  It MUST
be connected via a SLI cable to another Diamond Monster2 3dFX card of the
same MB to function.  It's just as good as adding a 2nd Voodoo2 for SLI
because in SLI mode the RAMDAC and VGA connector aren't used on the 2nd
card.  Keep in mind, however, if you want to sell both of the Monsters at a
future date you will most likely have to sell them together, limiting the
scope of your market.  If you had 2 "complete" Monster2's, it would probably
be easier to separate and sell them individually.
