Hi, having just recently added Windows, I was appalled by the slow turtle-like pace of my Oak Tech 512K SVGA board in 256 color resolutions. Therefore, I am looking for some opinions from fellow netters in terms of what SVGA boards are good for use with Windows. To meet my criteria, the board must not be prohibitively expensive; must be compatible with a wide range of applications (I'd be thrilled if it supported VESA, too; in fact I believe this is a must now that I have contemplated it); and must be FAST! Some may ask, "Well, what is fast?" I will instead describe what is SLOW. When in 256 color mode, in a modem program, with the screen updating each new incoming line of text at about 1 line ever 1.5 seconds -- this is SLOW! Especially since I am at 9600 baud and it seems like I have been relegated to using 300 baud once more! Therefore if you know of a board that has output about the same as one would experience in DOS (speedy output) then by all means follow-up or send me mail. If I get any replies (please!) then I will mail summaries to those who ask; if more than 5 persons ask I will post the summaries to the net in this newgroup (unless, Timo, this is in the wrong newsgroup? If so I apologize!! :-). Thanks, -- Bryan Woodworth Mail: bryanw@netcom.com
