  This is a response to a post I made about a month 
ago. I was having problems with getting my Actix
VLB S3 card to run at 50 Mhz. I kept bugging them
about the problem since they had told me that it 
would be able to run at 50 when I upgraded. Well I 
upgraded to 50 and it wouldn't run. I got flamed by 
people who kept telling me that VLB won't run at 
50 Mhz. 
  Well Actix finally admitted that the card I had has 
problems and sent me ROM chip update. Well it helped a
little but didn't completely solve my problem. Then they
told me I have one of their original Video cards and it
would cost $75 to upgrade. I told them forget it. I talked 
to Tech Support and they said I was entitled to an exchange.
Well I got the new Videocard and it works flawlessly at
50 Mhz. For those looking for a new video card I would now 
be able to recommend these highly.
Thanks for your time and patience.
