- 95Hz!!? What kind of monitor do you have? That must look like a sheet of
- paper or something!
-
- How do you all think the EISA version of the Ultra Pro will compare with these
- figures? I suspect it'll be pretty much the same since the stuff that Win-
- Bench tests (line drawing, etc) don't care much about the speed of the bus.
- Perhaps on memory to screen copies the local bus version will be faster...no?
-
- Oh, and BTW - I'm not sure, but I think you are violating a (somewhat
- idiotic) licensing restriction by posting your WinBench results.
