Hello.
  I've seen a few comments on this before, but I'd like more detailed info.
  I'm planning to buy either a Video Seven VRAM or Orchid ProDesigner Plus, 
with 512K of ram (Vram). I've heard conflicting views as to the reliability
of the VRAM, but is seems to be faster than the Orchid. Can anybody say what
the relative speeds are? Is the VRAM really much faster? They have pretty much
the same video modes, so speed seems to be the major difference, at least from
what the ads claim.
  If you own one of these cards, please write me a quick note telling me what
you think about it. And if anybody's ever done a direct comparison of the two
I'd love to know the results.
  Thanks in advance! And please respond via e-mail.

           - Paul
