- I might suggest you take a look at the current PC Magazine. There's a
- comprehensive review of accelerator cards, including the Diamond Speedstar
- but not the Stealth. The editors picked the ATI Graphics Ultra Plus, the
- Metheus Premier 1280NI, and the NDI Volante A%600 Plus as their favorites.
