I beleive it is the matter of opinon on which sounds better, to me soundblaster
sounds great and better than my amiga.  I of course heard alot of samples on
both machines, but the capabilities on the soundblaster is great!  OF COURSE
IT IS MINE OPINON.  The SVGA card can be read up in Aprils issue of COMPUTER
SHOPPER page 295.  It is out of 16.7 Million colors, I can get one cheaper
$179 also in that issue with 1024x768 with 32,000 colors at that rez at once
NI.  As far as AMIGA displaying 262,000 rez at once, it is not actually
doing it and also at a lower rez.  If you look at the HARDWARE SPECS, specifically the AMIGA rez and colors would be less then this SVGA card.  IBM can also
display HAM pictures right off AMIGAs files.
