- You might want to look at the Number Nine 9GXE. It is almost twice as fast as
- the ATI Graphics Ultra Pro and cheaper. The ATI card averages 25 million
- winmarks while the Number Nine achieves almost 42 million. The ATI also
- averages in cost around $510+ and the Number Nine is $495 direct from the
- company. You can get some information on this card in the Windows Magazine.
- They almost always advertise in this magazine each month. Their advertisement
- will give you all the needed specs. and the toll free number. They have
- models in ISA, EISA, L-Bus, etc. Hope this helps.
