- Do you care about speed? If you don't really care to get an accelerator
- card, you can get a ATI XL for about 1/3 the price (or less) of the
- ATI Ultra. It is 16 bit and can display up to 800x600x32k.
- BUT! Make sure you are getting the latest one that just came out,
- and not your dealer trying to clear old stock. The old ones only
- went up to 640x480x32k. But this was our CHEAP (very cheap) alternative.
