Since it is a popular card with a good price > I am sure ISC will now start to fully support it. there's no problem in my system, ATI VGA wonder 512k, BIOS version V3-1.05 and SONY 1304 monitor. ISC X windows release 1.1 ATI VGA driver works in 800x600x16 mode (at least in my case) with 512k installed only. there's a utility program, ATI-INFO supplied with the adapter, that can be used to find out how much memory your adapter recognizes. i used ATI-INFO to find out there was a bent pin in one of memory chips. --Vince -- Vincent Tan (513) 865-1651 Mead Data Central, Inc.
