In that case, something from Number Nine, or Chris> Artist would fit it better. I am very close to buying a Sony CPD-1304 and a Trident 8916 2/8 16-bit VGA board with 1MB video Ram. The card, according to my dealer and PC World (May 1990, pgs 176,177), is supposed to handle 1024x768x256. Will this card support non-interlaced graphics at this resolution? Is this combination as good as it seems? Thanks, -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rick Holzer "NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!!!!!"
