No flames, really, but some facts are abit inaccurate.
 
You can get VGA cards for a clone for about $200, NOT TIGA boards.  And there
isn't a board like this for the Mac for about $600, not with a coprocessor,
not with that resolution.
 
The TMS34010 is far from outdated...just check out Number Nine and Hercules.
 
There are little to no boards for the Mac with 1280x1024 and 32bits.  Most
boards with above 8bits of color have a max of 1024 x 768, or something like
1152 x 832...tops.  And all of these options cost plenty...upwards of $5K.
 
If things were as cheap as you'd like to make them out to be on the Mac side,
maybe even the Mac owners would quit bitching about Apple prices.
