I was unimpressed with the #9 cards which dell ships with their
Pentiums.. I also hate Diamond, who has a tendency to have drivers which
NEVER work. ATI is generally better at fixing their goof-ups eventually,
and I am considering one of their cards if the drivers are working in a
few months when I buy my pentium.
Did you get good driver support for the Stealth64? Is is fast under both
Windows and dos - especially both ends of the spectrum- I need fast 24
bit color and/or fast 1024x768 or 1280x1024 or whatever the next mode is.
