According to MacWEEK, on March 19, Apple will rolling out (in addition to the IIfx) three new video cards to replace the current cards. There'll be a 4*8 card (i.e., 4 bits upgradeable to 8), a 8*24 card (8 bits upgradeable to 24), and a 8*24 CG (8 bits upgradeable to 24, with AMD 29000 QuickDraw accelerator). According to the story, all three new cards will drive all of the Apple displays. I suppose this means you could do 24-bit grayscale on the big Apple two-page display. I wonder how long it will be until Apple comes out with a Apple-labeled 19-inch color Trinitron display... -- Mark Vita vita@crd.ge.com General Electric CRD ..!uunet!crd.ge.com!vita Schenectady, NY
