'Ello all. It's time again for "What do you think is the best _______?"
Mine is: you know what it is, you read the heading.
Anyhow, I currently have a Sony CPD1303 monitor with 800x600 resolution.
Installed is a Paradise VGA 16 card, allowing me to access 800x600 in 16
colors, and 640x400 with 256. Now, by adding 256k, I can increase 256 color
resolution by 640x80, but big deal. (With the vga16 card, can I just add
chips, or do I need the Professional card?) Doesn't matter, I'm not going to
add a hundred bucks for a small step. When I upgrade, I want to fully
implement the powers of my monitor. What are the powers of my monitor? If I
get the right card, can I go up to 4096 colors+? If that's too 'spensive
then any recommendations on a 800x600x256 color card (preferably 16 bit --
I've grown used to the extra speed)?
I, and my frontal lobe, both thank you for your astounding knowledge.
Eric
