Is it worth the expense? Thanks. Yes, it should only cost you $100. But be aware that putting an 8-bit card into the same double-segment (B000->CFFF) as a 16-bit card will cause the 16-bit card to be accessed 8 bits at a time. In other words, your 16-bit VGA will act like an 8-bit VGA. -- --russ Humble Quaker, and damned proud of it.
