- I'm going to be buying a Windows accelerated card. I've been considering
- the Diamond Stealth VRAM, but I hear it is slower than the Diamond
- Speedstar 24x? Which one is faster in Windows? How much faster is one in
- DOS than the other?
-
- I've also been considering the ATI Graphics Ultra Plus.
-
- What I'd like is a turbocharged, accelerated card for windows 3.1 that has
- 24bit color up to at least 800x600 and hicolor (15/16 bit color) in up to
- 1024x768x256. I'll settle for less, I just want to know of all the options
- and what the prices are.
-
- I'd also like to know what chipset the suggested cards have onboard; also,
- if they indeed come with relatively bug-free windows 3.1 and vesa drivers.
-
- PLEASE, I need your help. I cannot stand my card's lackluster Windows
- performance any longer. I need acceleration.. NOW! :) Email or post
- follow-ups, I dont mind. Your help is need now more than ever! Help cure
- my insanity.. Thanks.
