  10. This is more of a hardware question, but it does involve Windows... I was
  11. looking amy Tseng ET4000 drivers for Windows, and I noticed that I have drivers
  12. for 32000 color modes.
  13.  
  14. Now, I know that the colors are controlled by the RAMDAC, whatever that stands
  15. for, and I know that Edsun and a company called something like Sierra both make
  16. 32000 color RAMDAC chips. Would it be possible for me to replace my current
  17. RAMDAC with a 32000 color one? How much would the chip cost by itself, if this
  18. is possible? And which would I need, the Edsun or Sierra chip, or are they
  19. compatible?
  20.  
  21. Any info would be appreciated...
