Monster 3D II Price Cut

Diamond Multimedia Systems announced today its participation in 3Dfx Interactive's Power of 2 promotion and new prices for its MEGAMonster gaming solution.

Monster 3D II Price Cut is the story on November 9, 1998, and it is one of those late-1998 PC gaming updates that says exactly where the scene is right now. Diamond Multimedia Systems announced today its participation in 3Dfx Interactive's Power of 2 promotion and new prices for its MEGAMonster gaming solution. Diamond Multimedia's MEGAMonster, powered by 3Dfx Interactive's Voodoo2 chipset, allows hard-core gamers to run two Monster 3D II graphics accelerators in a Scan Line Interleave (SLI) mode.

New Monster 3D II customers who crave to have the MEGAMonster Power of 2 solution, can purchase the Monster 3D II 12MB accelerator for a US estimated retail price of $199.95 or the 8MB Monster 3D II for 149.95 and apply the $50 mail-in rebate to either board, giving the gaming enthusiast two Monster 3D II 12MB boards for $300 or two 8MB Monster 3D IIs for $200. Free stuff, prizes, tournaments, and rebates are always worth a look, provided you read the fine print first.
