I am considering purchasing a 24 bit color windows accelerator card.  I have
noticed two affordable ones, the Orchid Fareneit 1280 and the STB X24 card.
The most important thing to me is that I can use 256 colors without so much
loss in speed.  the 24 bit color is just an extra for me...  Would anyone
here recommend either of these cards to me?
