Well, I'm about to start convincing my boss to buy me a high-power graphics
card for the new machine I'm getting, and I'm very interested in the TIGA
boards (specifically NEC Graphics Engine and Hercules Graphics Station).
So two questions follow:

    1.  Has anyone tested one either of these?  Are they really faster
	than, say, 8514 boards?
    
    2.  Can I use a monochrome monitor as a second monitor in conjunction
	with one of these?  I absolutely need a secondary monitor for
	Windows development.

Thanks in advance...
