In message <4037tm$76j@steel.interlog.com> - rpews@interlog.com (Rick Pews) wri tes: :> :>I'm about to do away with my ATI GU+ video card and am looking for something :>that is fast with good OS/2 support, but that will cost me less than one :>of ATI's Mach64 cards (at $250, they're a bit much for hacking about with :>at home). :> :>I am looking for a VL-Bus card capable of running 1280x1024 non-interlaced at :>at least 60 Hz, 256 colours or better (i.e. 2 Meg Ram or more), with :>excellent OS/2 drivers. I don't care about WinOS/2 support since I don't use :>it. Also, it must be capable of running at 40 MHz (I'm told that some VL-Bus :>cards don't run reliably above 33 MHz). Above all, it must be faster (and :>have better drivers) than the ATI Mach32 cards, otherwise it would be a waste :>of money. :> :> :>Do any of the S3 or (ugh) Diamond cards qualify? :> :> :>Suggestions? :> : I've been using the ATI Xpression with 2 Meg for about 8 months on my 66 MHz 486 VLB machine. It's beeen rock solid and quite quick with the drivers right out of Warp's box. It's currently running around $200. If I switch to a PCI machine in the future I'll get the PCI version of this card.
