I want to dump my buggy Trident TVGA 8800 SVGA card and get another
cheap SVGA card that's faster and has no bugs.  I'm looking at get-
ting Tseng Lab's ET-4000 SVGA card for $99 mail order.

Is Tseng Lab's still the best among the low-cost non-co-processed
SVGA cards out there?  Better than the Trident 8900 variety?  Does
Tseng have good customer and application support?

When I purchase the Tseng Lab ET-4000 SVGA card, are there any
versions I should look out for?  IE, if the card is an ET-4000,
does that automatically mean it has the latest chip set?  And if
there is one, what would be the latest version or update?

What does ET-4000 indicate?  I've seen plain VGA (640x480) ,
Super VGA (1024x768) and the new Super-Duper VGA (1280x1024
and a few million colors) from Tseng Labs all called ET-4000
boards.

Thanks for any help.
