- I've received several requests for speed comparisons between the 8514/A
- and other graphics cards (ET4000, ET4000 localbus, S3, and S3 localbus).
- The S3 cards are not currently supported, but I've heard rumors that some
- people are trying to get them to work (if anyone can confirm/deny this,
- please let me know). Thus, comparisons between the S3 and 8514/A are not
- possible at this time, but ET4000 comparisons are possible.
-
- I can borrow a friends ET4000 (not a local bus), and run some comparisons,
- but the problem is that I would need to have the correct Clocks and ModeDB
- for my system. The card I would borrow is a Diamond Speedstar+, and the
- monitor I have is the Gateway 15". If anyone has the setup, please e-mail
- me your Xconfig, so that I can run some tests.
-
- I'll post results once I run the tests.
-
- Thanks,
- Kevin
