- I have a 386sx with 4 megs of memory nad a trident video card. Windows
- 3.1 runs real slow on my computer, and I am thinking of buying a speedier
- video card for windows.
-
- What I want to know is how much of a performance boost can I expect from
- an S3, Speedstar 24X, or ATI Ultra card?
-
- According to PC Mag, some of these video cards actually run slower under
- DOS. Can someone verify this for me?
-
- What are your experiences? Is the speedup worth the price?
-
- Thanks
-
- Jason
