Last week someone posted an artical stating that a BOCA SVGA card was faster than an STB clone, this clone being identical to the PowerGraph/ EM16+. The numbers were ~2300 for the STB and ~4500 for the BOCA. These were tested(I think) in a '386. I have a Powergraph in my 16MHz '286 and it rates at 5400. Something tells me that this 'clone' has maybe a few genetic defects.... Glen Harris eegeh@wanda.jcu.edu.au no .sig

Rising processor or bus speed or both in the same machine seems to give higher seed rates to these SVGAs. It would be nice to tell in addition to configuration the bus speed when speeds are measured.

The bus speed is rocketing along as a whopping 8MHz. Glen Harris
