- Seven boards that handle 1280x1024x256 NI come to mind:
-
- Vendor Board Chipset
- ------------ -------------- ----------
- ATI Ultra Pro ATI mach32
- ATI Ultra Plus ATI mach32
- ELSA WINNER (rev C) C&T 82C480
- ELSA WINNER (rev D) C&T 82C481
- Nth Graphics Engine/150 C&T 82C480
- Nth Graphics Engine/250 C&T 82C481
- Pixelworks WhirlWIN C&T 82C480
-
- (Pixelworks has, or will soon have, a board based upon the C&T 82C481 but
- haven't heard what the name of it is.)
-
- [I really hate to add the following, but due to past events on the net
- I feel that it is unfortunately necessary.]
-
- Before anyone even thinks of starting a flame war on the topic of
- `commercial verses free' I'd like to remind them that the charter of
- comp.windows.x.i386unix stated:
-
- "The newsgroup comp.windows.x.i386unix is intended for discussions about
- XFree86, the enhancement package for X11R5 on Intel-based Unix, and for
- discussions of commercial implementations of the X Window System from OS
- vendors and third parties. ..."
-
- The intent of this posting was to provide information about 1280 rez cards.
- That's it. If you want info about our product, you can send email to
- info@sgcs.com or to me directly.
