Hi all, the perennial question of which VGA card should I get, But
wait this request has a twist.
hit n now if you're already bored or pissed off
I have a 21" Taxan Ultravision Multisynch monitor installed in a clone
386/33-0 machine. The motherboard has CGA/EGA built in but for some
reason EGA doesn't seem to work -- well it's alittle difficult to tell
since CGA/EGA is magnified almost 3 to 1 on such a large monitor.
Alas I have sopme software that requires VGA so I think that I will
have to invest in a VGA card. Oh, before I forget I also run a 24-bit
color card from PixelWorks. I have their UltraClipper 1280-8 card
which gives me 1600x1200x256 interlaced or 1280x1024x256
non-interlaced. I run it in the 1280x1024 mode. Thus I really don't
need a card that gives me 1024x768 probably only 640x480 or 800x600 but
I would like to keep the 256 color part.
Any suggestions? E-mail please.
Thanks for your attention to an endless request.
Kevin
