- Hi,
-
- I have bought a FastData PowerWin VGA card from FastMicro Direct
- Express. The card features an ET4000 chip and a RAMDAC HIColor
- chip. FastMicro (Phoenix, AZ) claims ET4000 is an accelerator
- chip and will run Windows 6 times faster. But when I install it
- into my 386SX-16Mhz computer with the correct Windows' turbo driver,
- it doesn't seem faster than my old Video 7 (256K). It is even
- slower without using the turbo driver.
-
- Did I do anything wrong in my window setup ?
- Please help.
- Thanks
