I do not recommend buying an Orchid card. I have two machines, one with
an Orchid Prodesigner +, the other with an OEM Paradise Chipset card which
cost a lot less than the Orchid card. Aside from the fact that it took
Orchid a long time to provide a Windows 3.0 driver, I've found that the
performance of the clone card is much better than the Orchid card. I haven't
been particularly pleased with Orchid's support of the Prodesigner +.
