	This is new for me so i hope i don't offend antone.  my problem is this.  My II si is a nice machine, but slows down considerably under 7.0. I would
  like to speed up performance with either a cache card (new for the si) or a     video card (24 bit).  Since it seems to me as if the performance degradation
  is due to on board video, i would assume a video card would be the answer.
  I'm just not sure.  if video is the answer , which card would be best.  Ive
  checked out the 24si by RasterOps; is the card only utilized in 24bit mode?
  (meaning that when i revert back to 8 bit I'm stuck with onboard vid again)
  How about the Apple 8-24?  It's not accelerated, but will it do both 8 and
  24 on the card.  No way i can drop $1200 bucks (educational) on the GC.  
  Any help would be greatly appreciated, and i will post a summary providing
  I even did this right :^)

		Thanks to all those in net-land...

				Stump.
