Happy holidays!

I'm looking for an inexpensive (< $150) VGA card that is
capable of being upgraded to do 1024 x 768 in 256 colors.
Present thoughts are STB PowerGraph or Compudyne 1024
which are available for $149 and $99 respectively at Soft
Warehouse. I'd welcome any comments on these or other
similarly priced video cards. Initially it will be used
on my 286 to drive a mono VGA monitor but I'll be upgrad-
ing to color next year. My primary system has a Diamond
SpeedStar with NEC 3D and it is spoiling me so I want to
do a cheap upgrade on my Herc mono back-up system at the
lab. Thanks in advance for any comments offered.
