- I called a local ATI dealer and got this info on the new ATI boards.
-
- Graphics Ultra Pro:
- 1280x1024x256
- 800x600x16.7M
- Available for ISA, EISA and MCA.
- Winmark 25.5M
-
- Graphics Ultra Plus:
- same resolutions as the Pro
- only for ISA
- Winmark 21M
-
- I don't know about the color depth at 1024x768, maybe 8 or 15 bits ?
- He also said that there would be a Graphics Vantage Plus, but I'm really
- not sure about that. Also, I don't know how much RAM is standard and how
- expandable it is. Also, are these already on the market in US ? The dealer
- expects these boards in two months.

- Teemu.
