Thanks for all your help with my video card problem. Just to clarify something, I was thinking of spending about 100 UKP at the most. However, after reading your advice and looking through a magazine review I found on video cards, I am wondering if I would be better off in the long run getting something a little better than a 1MB card. The review reckoned that the Diamond Stealth Video 64 (or something like that) is the best of the ones they tested, and it is cheaper than other cards that aren't as good. I've seen it advertised for about 235 +VAT (but that was in a June issue of the magazine-I wonder what it is now?). Can anyone back up that it is about the best for the price? If so, I think I may go crazy and get that along with a much needed CD ROM on credit. Naughty I know, but I cannot resist it! By the way, someone questioned what I wrote about wanting 1024 by 1024, 16 M colours. Well, sorry to mis-lead you but that is what I THOUGHT I had before. I understand it all clearly now though. All I basically want is the best possible for the least price-But don't we all? I mainly use Windows at the moment (just the basic progs such as MS-Office & Internet software), and hardly any games, but I want to be prepared for the future with a CD ROM and any other delightful gadgets I can get my hands on, so I want a card that will be good for future applications. Thanks again for the help, Geoff. -- **Geoff Smith** **Geoff@sierra.demon.co.uk** **London, England**
