- The Speedstar 24X (emphasis on the 'X') is an accelerator, the Speedstar
- 24 is not. I am sure they were talking about the 24X. The 24X is faster
- than the S3 911 and 924 based Stealths and the Mach8 based Ultras, but
- not the new S3 801, 805, and 928 based Stealths or the new Mach32 based
- Ultras.
