[comp.sys.ibm.pc] EGA/VGA adapter/monitor for XT clone- recommendation?

yingda@astroatc.UUCP (Ying-Da Lee) (10/24/88)

I am considering buying ATI's EGA Wonder card with NEC's Multisync II
monitor for my XT clone.  It looks like a reasonably combination on paper
but I would like to hear from people who have hand-on experiences with
them-- good and bad-- and possibly recommendations for other selections
(EGA or VGA).  I know this has been hashed many times before, so please
e-mail if you can.  Thanks.

Hi Ying-Da
ref your VGA info, I cannot E-mail but hope this is ok.
I have been installing Compaq VGA cards and monitors on all our compaq
systems over the last few weeks and I must say, I am impressed.
Think it should be possible to put them in an XT, although I am not
sure if it will fit in an 8 bit slot.
If it will, i can really recommend them. Do not know anything about
prices (my boss pays and I never see a bill...) so that might be the
biggest problem...
Good luck with your choice,
