I am interested in getting a graphics board for my model 70
and I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with ATI's
8514/Ultra.  Is it really as fast as they say is it i.e. 10X 8514/A?
Should I just wait until the price of the XGA board falls enough
or until a clone of the XGA is produced by some one else?
Right now I can get the /Utlra with 512KB for $419 and w/ 1MB for $559.
Theses prices are pretty good as compared to IBM's.
Finally, can the 512KB version of these boards support 256 colors
under Win 3.0?

   Thanks in advance!!
