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
