I have the same card, and am running in 1024x768x256 with no problems. The board has 1Meg (of course); I'm running interlaced to a NEC 3D. Windows drivers are version 3.2 (older ones are on the BBS too, be careful). My video BIOS chips are version 3.3. I have noticed that, with an IBM mono card installed, the board won't come up in 16-bit mode, but only 8-bit, which slows the screen updates in Windows by a factor of nearly 2 (measured, not estimated). I'd sure love to know how to fix that ... -- Barry Press Internet: press@venice.sedd.trw.com
