- Yes. It's another one of those posts :> I still haven't seen a FAQ
- regarding this. I suppose it's like asking which editor is the best
- (even though we all know emacs rules :).
-
- Anyhow, my questions are as follows:
-
- I am buying a 486 system. I'd like to optimize my graphics performance
- under 386BSD X11R5, DOS and Windows. I'd like to run at 1024x768,
- 800x600 and 640x480 all at 256 colors (or more :) under X and Windows.
-
- What board would be best for me to choose?
- I've heard that the Diamond Speedstar 24 (NOT the X) doesn't do
- 1024x768 under X.
- Are there any VESA standard local bus SVGA cards/systems?
- Would I be better off buying a non-local bus system?
- ...
- too many questoins? ;)
- I will try to summarize or compile a FAQ on this.
