- Hi,
-
- I am planning to buy a new graphicscard for my model 70.
- There are two options:
- 1) the IBM XGA-card, about 1300 dutch guilders ($750)
- 2) ATI 8514 ultra, about the same price (here in Holland)
-
- Could you give me some more information about these cards
- regarding speed and possible modes?
-
- I am now using an 8513 monitor and will probably upgrade to an
- 8515 some months later. Is it possibly to use my 8513 with those
- cards?
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Robbert
-
- PS: What's the price of these cards in the U.S.?
- Does anyone has experience with US-import?
- Note: the price of the XGA-card is for IBM employees.
