- I'm interested in buying a Graphics Vantage w/ VGA pass through to my
- Diamond Speedstar. Will this work in 800x600x256 under my already
- installed OS/2 2.0? By work, I mean if it is possible for me to switch
- to a full screen DOS session of a game and still have the game access VGA
- without problems. Is the ATI that much faster for OS/2? Or will my
- performance be better improved by going to a 486 (I have a 386-33) or
- by getting more than 8 megs RAM? I just want my Window apps (Draw, etc.)
- to have a faster refresh time and for my OS/2 windows to be snappier.
