- the cirrus logic chipset in the boca card is not et4000 compatible. the
- word is that it is very fast (faster than the wd chipset in the diamond
- speedstar24x) i wouldn't buy a trident. get a fast et4000 like the
- speedstar vga 1m (about US$135). an s3 based card will be more like us$240.
- the cirrus logic chipset has integrated 24bit DAC for truecolor, and has
- been chosen by ibm and compaq for some of their new systems. it might not
- be long before linux supports this chipset. there is a new version of the
- s3 chipset (89c928) that is _very_ fast (nth graphics advertises 40M
- winmarks) don't know if it is shipping yet. ati graphics pro is fast (27M
