Our dept. recently picked up a 386-25 box with an SVGA card using the 
Paradise chip set.

  Question1: Is it normal for windows to take two to three seconds to
             repaint a screen? (actually about two thirds of the screen)
             This is in the 1024X768 mode.

  Question2: If it is NOT normal, is this a function of the driver or
             the hardware? Could a different driver for the Paradise set
             be used? 

  Question3: If the answer to both of the above is NO, what is considered
             to be the hot tip in chip sets.


Thanx in advance for yer help.
