     I'm currently trying to resolve a dilemna over which 16-bit VGA
video card to buy and am hoping that some of you netters out there could
give me some advice.  I intend to use this VGA card with a Mitsibushi
Diamond Scan (AUM 1381A), which I have not purchased yet.  I plan to
spend around $300 for this card which brings me to the following choices.

1.  Paradise VGA Plus 16
2.  ATI VGA Wonder
3.  Orchid ProDesigner VGA

     I would be grateful if any of the experts, owners, or anyone who is
familiar with VGA cards could offer me some advice.  Any additional
information would also be welcome (such as software drivers included,
programs that don't work with a particular card).  I am also open to
suggestions to other VGA cards in the same price range.

Thanks in advance,
