- There's a better way. Buy one of the multi-resolution video cards (from Radius
- or E-Machines, for example) and get not-only the 640x480 with big pixels, but
- larger sizes with smaller pixels as well. These cards go for < $500 mailorder,
- so the cost increment above a basic 640x480 card is minimal.
-
- Check out particularly the Radius PrecisionColor 8xj and the E-Machines
- FuturaSX. I'm sure both would be happy to mail or fax datasheets.
- Radius is at (800)227-2795, or (408)434-1010. E-Machines is at (800)344-7274,
- or (503)646-6699.
-
- Don't forget to ask about cables to connect to the monitor of your choice.
