- ATI Ultra (1 MB) -- it is 8514/A hardware compatible, meaning you get
- 1024x768 in 256 colors just as soon as you install OS/2 2.0, straight
- out of the box. It goes up to 72 Hz noninterlaced, in fact.
-
- Unless Diamond (makers of the Stealth) can guarantee OS/2 2.0 drivers
- (and it pays to ask them -- and have them put it in writing), I would
- stay away from their product for the time being.
