- I think the board we've been talking about is the Diamond Speedtar 24X,
- which is out now and costs $180. Diamond is claiming higher WinMarks
- for it than for the Stealth. Also, it has an 800x600x32K mode which
- the Stealth 24 will lack, and fast DOS vga performance, which the
- S3 boards lack. The 24X uses the Western Digital 9031 GUI accelerator
- chip unlike the plain 24 which uses the Tseng ET4000.
