Now there are high resolution 24 bit boards available. There are even 32 bit boards currently in FCC (24 bits of color + 8 of alpha). $4000 for a board with 12 bit color and 4 bits alpha (correct me if I'm wrong) is outrageous, even with an i860 on board. >-Mike You're wrong. The NeXT Dimension board is 24 bit color with 8 alpha channels. -Mike
