I believe that my Cardinal VGA732 card uses the ET4000 chip. With 1 meg,
it handles all "standard" VGA modes up to 1024x768x256, PLUS it features
640x480x32767! Cardinal is coming out with a 800x600x32K model soon (figures,
eh? Just get the darn card and they improve on it already... ;-) I've had
little problems with it so far, and Windows look very nice in 32,000+ colors...
No more halftoning when creating colors in drawing packages or in Desktop.
Plus, it comes with a nice utility for displaying 24-bit TARGA files...
