Well, I have the ATI Graphics Expression (ISA 2meg RAM), and have had NO trouble with it whatsoever. I would heartily reccommend this card to ANY OS/2 user. YMMV, of course. Also, Mr. Roumeliotis, read and take seriously any post from Roderick Smith. He was very helpfull to me when I was moving to Warp last December, and he seems to really keep up on the hardware end of things OS/2 wise. Trustworthy, IMHO. Sincerely, Jimmie Farmer Jimmie R.
