I don't think I am in the mood to argue more numbers here , but I can only say this.... I have a 400$ SVGA card and a MULTISYNC II. I may create graphics on the Amiga (it has the tools I need) .. but when the time comes to DISPLAY them .. the go to the 386 and UNIX. The RANGE of colors needs updating much more than the number of lines of resolution does. I mean , 24 bit will be nice, but it would be ok to just get a REAL set of 256 that has a full 8 bit range. -- ========[ Xanadu Enterprises Inc.
