95Hz!!?  What kind of monitor do you have?  That must look like a sheet of
paper or something!

How do you all think the EISA version of the Ultra Pro will compare with these
figures?  I suspect it'll be pretty much the same since the stuff that Win-
Bench tests (line drawing, etc) don't care much about the speed of the bus.
Perhaps on memory to screen copies the local bus version will be faster...no?

Oh, and BTW - I'm not sure, but I think you are violating a (somewhat 
idiotic) licensing restriction by posting your WinBench results.
