- But on the non-accelerated side, the Speedstar (ET4000) works fine, right?
- I'm finally buying an OS/2-capable system (486/33) and selecting an
- appropriate video card has been a real headache. I'm leaning towards getting
- a simple ET4000 like the Speedstar (for the rumored support in the next
- release) for the time being, and waiting for the ATI Ultra Pro (25 mil
- WinMarks!) and its drivers to come out. Anyone have better suggestions for
- me? (I'm just looking forward to junking my old AT and finally being able
- to run OS/2!)
