I'm sure. : Not even in 24 bit? Do you use the "slowbuster" jumper? I have the slowbuster set of course, 24bit has very limited bandwidth, but this is reported by everybody, not only people with -09 busters. Bandwidth is limited to 50Mhz, but to be absolutely errorfree I have to go down to about 44 Mhz. Not much... Anyway, 24bit uses much more memory than 16bit (twice as much) and the improvement is only visible when you look real close. Not worth it most of the time. 16 bit works fine, but due to a bug in the driver you can't use 16bit interlace modes (or only small ones). If you have a decent monitor this is no problem. : I have 3.1 and have access to 3.0 so I can report to you if I see any speed : difference. Please post here (or mail me) your experiences. -- Jaco Schoonen (jaco@stack.urc.tue.nl)
