- I just installed a SpeedStar 24X in my 486DX/50 MHz 256kb cache 8MB ram
- system. WinBench reports 12,691,779 WinMarks in 800x600x256 mode. Sorry, I
- don't have any numbers on the Stealth. Maybe someone else with a similiar
- system can post them.
-
- I really enjoy my new SpeedStar. So far, I have only found one minor bug.
- While the screen is blanked by ScreenSaver, the cursor remains on screen.
- No big deal, just a difference I've notice over my old Paradise WD P1D card.
- This is most likely a driver bug, as when in 16 color mode this does not
- happen.
