All I can say is CBM better put 24-bit graphics inside :SUPER DUPER DENISE!..heh I mean its abit overdued! When the A3000 was :released it should of had atleast 256colors at low'rez. Something similar to :VGA atleast! : They said CBM should do something like incorporate 24-bit graphics :right into the CUSTOM chip set. I would be willing to upgrade my chips to get :24-bit graphics. For around $200-300!! Maybe have a faster blitter or :something and of course be backwards compatible.... or just have new :modes!!etc... Easy for you to say. A full 24 bit colour board with blitter and animation capabilities for two or three hundred dollars? Third party boards with these capabilities barely exist, let alone for under a couple of thousand. If you want the custom chips to support real time animation in 24 bit colour, you had better be prepared to fork over $2000 for an A500. --Chuck Cazabon, cazabon@hercules.cc.uregina.ca * My Opinions Are Not My Own...Feel Free To Plagiarize
