just got a 19 inch Nec Multisync 5D monitor that supports up to 1280 by 1024 resolution. I would like to use it with Windows at a higher resolution than 1024 by 768. Does anyone know of board that sells for a reasonable price. With that many pixels I would want to get a coprocessor (i.e TI 340XX) board. A Windows 3.0 driver is essential. I have seen the Hercules Graphics Station board advertised for less than $900, but it only goes to 1024 by 768. Besides, last time I called Hercules they expected to release the windows driver REAL SOON, whenever that is. Anyone got a suggestion ??? :q :q :q -- --------------------------------------------------- Bob Weiman Internet: bweiman@whoi.edu Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution

Try the Number Nine Graphics board. You can get a 1280x1024 with 16 colors plus everything else in 256 colors for around 2000. It has a ti34010 onboard. There are cheaper upgradable models available. ciao jeff -- Jeff Watkins gt3070b@prism.gatech.edu Convergent Media Systems (404) 315-0105 voice (404) 315-0231 data "I speak for no-one.

At the risk of making a blatant plug: HP sells a card called the IGC-20 which uses a TI 34020 and will take you up to 1280x1024x256 colors. The base model lists at roughly $2500 (LIST price, NOT STREET price, which is sure to be significantly lower). To run at 1280x1024x256, you would also need to buy an extra 1MB of VRAM. (Which is also cheaper if you circumvent HP).
