Hello to all,

I am interested in the opinions on the following video cards for a Mac CI.
I have not been able to find any video reports, so my understanding of these
cards below are based on ads in the US Mac mags .

SuperMac 8 series 3	accelerated 8 bit can be upgrade to 24 bit

RasterOps 8XLi		accelerated 8 bit can be upgrade to 24 bit

Radius 8x		accelerated 8 bit can be upgrade to 24 bit

RasterOps 8XL		accelerated 8 bit non-upgradeable
Is there an equivalent to this made by Radius and/or SuperMac.

My reasons for the interest is that there are vast price differences in the
8 bit upgradeble cards between the various manufacturers eg. like double.

I really don't need 24 bit, so a accelerated 8 bit card(upgradeble or not) would
suffice, but again which one.

Any information would be appreciated.

Regards George
