- Super VGA board supports high refresh rates (72Hz) with resolutions up to
- 1024x768. It has the Sierra Hi-Color RAMDAC installed to get 32,000 colors in
- normal vga mode. It has 1 meg of memory installed.
-
- I also will have a set of Winspeed Windows 3.1 drivers for the board. These
- drivers are VERY GOOD. The Orchid uses the Tseng E-4000 chipset and the
- Winspeed drivers for this chipset speed the board up by (my guess) a factor of
- about 3.
-
- My question is, is this card a good card for X. Will the Windows 3.1 accerator
- drivers help in any way or will they be useable when I run Win 3.1 only? Is the
- Tseng E-4000 chipset ok/good/excelent...
-
- Sorry to waste the bandwidth.. PLEASE reply by mail only so others don't have to
- put up with my ignorance more than once. I will mail information to anyone that
- may also want such information upon request and depending on other replies.
-
- Thanks
