Hello all you out there in the Net. Is there any specs on the latest chip sets for the VGA and SVGA graphics? I heard here and there that IBM VGA is the slowest, then Paradise, and some more... Please let me know since I AM looking for a decent VGA system... Thanks. *************************************************************************** Yung D.

Our dept. recently picked up a 386-25 box with an SVGA card using the Paradise chip set. Question1: Is it normal for windows to take two to three seconds to repaint a screen? (actually about two thirds of the screen) This is in the 1024X768 mode. Question2: If it is NOT normal, is this a function of the driver or the hardware? Could a different driver for the Paradise set be used? Question3: If the answer to both of the above is NO, what is considered to be the hot tip in chip sets. Thanx in advance for yer help. jim.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Those who say it can't be done will eat the dust of those doing it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim "Capt."

What's your disk doing while the repaint is going on? I bet it's trashing like mad.
