I'M GOING LOOPY! I want a VGA set up but they're pretty expensive (especially the monitor itself). I was wondering if people could recommend a good setup for me. You see I'd love to get a 1meg 16bit SVGA with a 14" .22mm monitor but I'm a University Student (tm) so I have to tame myself a bit here. What I really want it for, I must admit is games. What do you people recommend in memory for the card, dot pitch for the monitor etc. Thanks in advance -- Sean Maurik -- semaurik@dahlia.waterloo.edu
