- The video in Windows is a little slow for my taste. This is because I'm
- using a Trident 1Meg board. So I want to speed it up. The question is,
- if I go out and buy a card which is advertised to be "2X faster than the
- Tseng 4000" (whatever that is), would it make much difference? I'm using
- a 386/33. The serious speed loss that bothers me occurs when I'm running
- a DOS application in a Window, and also the text scrolling in the Windows
- applications, most notably Crosstalk. Is the speed problem really the
- video, or is it my processor?
