I need a faster display for Windows and am looking for recommendations for TI TMS340xx graphics processor based boards. So far, the only board I have found that has Windows drivers is the NEC (or GSS) Multi-sync Graphics Engine Board. It's about $1400 for the 1024x768 256 color model. Can anybody else recommend any other boards? Mark Mark D. Grosen ARPA: grosen@amadeus.ucsb.edu Signal Processing Lab / Communications Research Lab ECE Dept.

Can anybody else recommend any other boards? As I haven't used these boards, I can't *recommend* them, but I will tell you about them. Both Compaq and Dell offer TI based graphics boards. Both offer Windows 286 and 386 drivers along with other drivers. Compaq: Advanced Graphics 1024 Board 1024x768x16, 800x600x256 TI34010 (50Mhz) Built-in VGA compatibility $1064 plus $425 for extra 512K (I think this is the heavily discounted GSA price) I think the extra RAM provides 1024x768x256. Dell: GPX-1024/16 1024x768x16, 800x600x16, 640x480x256 TMS34010 (50 MHz) VGA option available for $249 $1099 GPX-1024/256 1024x768x256, 800x600x256, 640x480x256 TMS34010 (50 MHz) VGA option available for $249 $1499 I don't know why Compaq refers to the chip as the TI34010 and Dell refers to it as the TMS34010. I assume they are one and the same. Hope this helps. -- Marshall L.

University of California Santa Barbara, CA 93106 ---------- Hi Mark. Hewlett-Packard has two graphics cards that may interest you. The Intelligent Graphics Controller 10 (IGC10) is a 34010 based controller card, and the Intelligent Graphics Controller 20 (IGC20) is a 34020 based controller card. From experience I know that the IGC10 card comes with a Windows286 and Windows386 driver. I believe that the IGC20 also has window drivers for it. By the way the part numbers for these cards are: IGC10 is A1086A and the IGC20 is A1083A. Call your local HP sales office or sales rep for more information. John Kempff kempff@hppad.HP.COM
