- Hi all,
-
- I am shopping for a fairy cheap (ie, affordable) VGA/SVGA card.
- I wonder if you people can give me some advice. I am looking for a SVGA
- card which can be used on 16bit (AT bus) as well as 8bit (XT bus)
- systems. Which brand would give me the most bang for the buck?
- is $150 for such a card (with 512k ram) unrealistic? do most programs
- require 1024k Vram instead of 512k? are those <$100 ones any good?
- (I am on a very very limited budget)
-
- Any advice/recommendation is appreciated.
-
- Thanks in advance.
-
- Yours Sincerely,
- Kelvin
