Someone poster here a while ago about the new ATI VGA Wonder+ card, and I'm wondering if I can get some more information on it. Has anyone actually used it in Windows, and seen the 350% speed gain that ATI says? I also heard something about an upgrade policy for owners of the VGA Wonder card. As a happy user of that card, I'd like to know whether I can get an upgrade, and whether it's worth it. I saw it in a store here in Montreal for $280, and while that's not a bad price if it does what it says, it'd be nice to be able to upgrade. I couldn't get any info from ATI's bulletin board besides their marketing propaganda. Any info would be welcome. - Brian Capson becap@bart.cs.mcgill.ca
