I recently called ATI about the Ultra Graphics Pro and the Ultra Graphics +.
Both of these adapters are not going to be shipped until the last week
in September.  Here is a summary of features that apply to both cards:

Available in ISA, EISA, Microchannel (not local bus)
1Meg ram is standard, upgradable to 2Meg
True Color (16.7 million) at 800x600
1024x768 at 65,000 colors (accelerated and noninterlaced)
basic functionality of Graphics Ultra

Ultra PRO:
Winmark of 25.5 million (existing Graphics Ultra is 9 million)
non-interlaced accelerated at 1280x1024 with 256 colors
uses VRAM
priced from $599 (from ATI)

Ultra +:
Winmark of 21 million
interlaced at 1280x1024 (I don't think it is accelerated)
uses DRAM
priced from $399

A local bus version is not available.  They did tell me that they do
make a local bus card for Gateway.  However, ATI would not tell me any
of the specs.  The people at Gateway did not know much about the card.
The only thing that they could tell me was that a ATI New Generation card
was going in the local bus of the 66Mhz DX2.  They said it was about
3 times faster than the Graphics Ultra.
