    QOTD: Do You Want True 3D Graphics for Games?

The Wii has already upped the ante with its 1 to 1 motion capabilities.(Im talking about Wii Motion Plus, which is bad a$$) However, after reading on the 3D gaming market, you must have a monitor that outputs 120hz?! So let me get this...

    Asus Rampage Formula
