Could someone tell me the relative speed difference between these two cards?
   Orchid Prodesigner IIs and Diamond Speedstar+
I know the Orchid IIs is supposed to be 25% faster than the Orchid II,
putting it in the ballpark of the Diamond Speedstar...

Does anyone know which DAC's they use?
I heard that the 512K IIs has 256/16.7M colors and the 1M IIs has 32K/16.7M
colors.  I'm pretty sure the Speedstar+ has 256/256K colors with CEG and
32K/256K color options...

Finally, what non-interlaced refresh rates do they support?  I know the
Speedstar+ supports 70Hz at 1024x768 and 800x600, 256 colors...

Thanks for any info.
