When we read the box we'll notice:

System requirements:
Pentium 90 or higher
32 MB RAM
Windows 95/98/2000/XP
CD-ROM
MultiScan monitor with 120 Hz refreshrate
VGA card with at least 16-bit color depth.

Okay, so my PDA is probably faster then the suggested requirements are. I suggest you multiply the requirements by 10 and that would be the bare minimum. Seriously, if you are going to play around with 3D Goggles in games you'll need good CPU power and an excellent videocard (I recommend a GeForce3 Ultra/Radeon 7500 or higher) and a really good CRT monitor that can do a high refreshrate. The last one is very important. I'm going to use a quote that Johannes wrote in our  eDimensional glasses article that explains it perfectly:

The glasses use a technology called "sync doubling" to create the stereo effect. (here you have the reason for the huge performance drop when you use Stereo3D)

Sync doubling arranges the left and right eye images up and down. It will render two images at the same time. (which should be the "two slightly different pictures" that are necessary to create the stereo effect)

One image is situated on top of the rendered frame, one is on the bottom. The trick of sync doubling is to place an additional v-sync between each of the "subimages". That's where "sync-doubling" got its name from: because of the additional v-sync the whole sync rate gets doubled.

Now these two sub images are being interlaced and then drawn synchronized to the refresh rate. (the shutterglasses are synced to this too).

Be sure that you have a monitor that supports at least 100Hz in your preferred resolutions.

Installation - When we open up the box we immediately notice the package is well taken care off. Loads of software and very good looking hardware. Among the software we'll find an Eye3D driver/utilies CD, Stereo3D PowerDVD (full version), VR Show!, 3D Showcase 3-Qubed Bonus pack CD with photo samples, stereoscopic pairs and lots of samples. Very complete and everything we need to get started.

The hardware itself consists out:

1st set of glasses, this is the wired version

VGA Dongle that connects between your videocard and monitor
