Tips for the Pro Graphics 1280

Tips from one user are:

1. Keep the video cable as short as possible or ghost images will appear.

2. Keep the card cool. Especially at the higher refresh. This card will get hot. I have a small fan that cools mine.

3. Zero all wait states on the Vesa Local bus. This card can take all you can give it, and more. I have not yet tried it at 40Mhz, but it does fly fine at the fastest bios settings at 33Mhz (hopefully your other VL cards can keep up.)

4. Make sure you have the most recent drivers. I believe development for the card has stopped, but the current drivers seem to be pretty sound.

5. Use another card for boot (disable the onboard vga.) I use a CGA card for the dos boot. It reduces the overhead for something I will not need. I get to recover the memory that was wasted on the Vga adapter bios and card. This is getting pretty techy. Another reason for the additional card is that my High res monitor will not support standard VGA. This is not the case for many of todays multisync. You must know what your system needs.

6. Hold on tight when using it. IT IS FAST!
