I'm looking for a SVGA card for a new 386 system.. I've looked at the Video
Seven VRAM, but I've heard it has a few flaws including non-compatibility
with some software. I wasn't too concerned with the price since I've heard
its among one of the fastest, but not that I've heard incompatibility I
am starting to move away from it.. Is the Orchid ProDesigner II completely
compatible?? How fast does it rate.. compared to your average VGA card and
the Video-7 VRAM.. The price is about $100 less than the V-7 and with 1meg
installed offers more colors, so it sounds like something to look into..
Also if anyone knows of other 1024*768*256 (preferably 256) SVGA with a
competitive speed rating, I'd appreciate the info..
Also, where can I obtain information on the bus speed for svga cards? (Is
that even important?) I'm looking for anything from 12-14 MHz, the faster
the better.
