- Diamond is about to release a new card, the Speedstar 24X.
- It has the same capabilities as the Speedstar 24, except it
- has a GUI accelerator chip. It gets 11 million Winmarks, they
- say, vs. 8.5 million for the ATI Ultra and Stealth VRAM, the
- current champions. The board will go on sale on Aug 1. at
- $199 from 1-800-800-5500. I have no connection with
- Diamond or the distributor. I just think this is a great card.
- Also, the card's svga modes are all Paradise instead of Tseng.
- I think this is a much better deal than the SS 24 unless you really
- need the Tseng 4k compatibility instead of Paradise.
