Hi,
	I am on the verge of buying a MacIIcx color system with
Apple's 13" RGB monitor.  Having future upgrades and expansion
in mind, I don't want to buy Apple's 8-bit board because it
cannot be upgraded to any future 24-bit boards.

	What experiences do you have to a third-party 8 or 24
bit board?  The RasterOps Colorboard 208, which is upgradeable to
264, sounds very attractive.  Do other companies offer such
a card and how slow really is a 24-bit card without a QuickDraw
accelerator?

	Thank your for your valuable opinions,
	Chester Liu

p.s. responses will be summarized.
