I need some advice on memory expansion for an IBM EGA board. I have an
IBM PC/AT with IBM EGA monitor and board. The problem is that the board
only has 64K of graphics memory, which causes some interesting problems with
certain graphically oriented packages. I know there used to be a daughter
board by IBM which would expand the graphics memory appropriately, but I
wonder if it would be more cost effective just to replace the IBM board
with a compatible board with at least 256K of graphics memory? Would
welcome alternative suggestions and/or replacement board possibilities.

I have used the Zenith EGA/VGA Z-449 board for a year now and it is
very fast and does up to 640 X 480 resolution. Unfortunely, they
want to much for it at Zenith. But I am looking to up grade to
a 16 bit VGA board and would be willing to sell mine.
