- With the nice drop in the price of the ATI 8514/Ultra I'm seriously
- considering picking one up instead of selling my model 70/25mhz system.
-
- Since I do almost all my work in a windows 3.1 environment I would think
- that this graphics card would give a good boost to the speed of my system.
-
- Are there any people using this or a similar setup? What are your opinions
- of how well the ati works with ps/2's and windows 3.1? Do you use the crystal
- fonts to increase the screen font sharpness?
-
- BTW, I have the 8514 monitor which supports up to 1024X780 but in interlaced
- mode. Will the flicker be a problem? (I am considering a NEC or RADIUS 19"
- in the near future so the 8514/A would be suitable as it also supports the
- above resolutions in non-interlaced.
-
- Thanks for any feedback. You can reply via e-mail or via the conference if you
- think the info will be useful to everyone else.
