Sounds like a card with Edsun CEG chips, these chips replace the RAMDAC on a standard VGA card and has anti-aliasing hardware builtin, hence the increase in apparant resolution. I heard there is a little prefomance degradation, how much slower? Orchid is supposed to have such a replacement chip out soon. I haven't called them so I don't know if it's out already. Has any Orchid owner gotten this chip yet? -- Nan Zou | Bitnet : nan@ksuvm Kansas State University | Internet: nan@math.ksu.edu #include | nan@matt.ksu.ksu.edu
