  13. Here are the benchmarks somebody wanted for text scrolling on
  14. the diamond 24X.

  31. As you can see, the 24X does not scroll or do text as well as the
  32. Stealth, however, in the 16 color modes, it does almost as well.
  33. It does everything else (in both 256 and 16 color modes) except diagonal 
  34. lines as well or better.  Diamond is claiming that overall, the 
  35. 24X is faster on Winbench.
