From article <670@hydra.gatech.EDU+, by iaadmjw@prism.gatech.EDU (WOOLEN JAMES):
+ I need some advice on memory expansion for an IBM EGA board.  I have an
+ IBM PC/AT with IBM EGA monitor and board.  The problem is that the board
+ only has 64K of graphics memory, which causes some interesting problems with
+ certain graphically oriented packages.  I know there used to be a daughter
+ board by IBM which would expand the graphics memory appropriately, but I
+ wonder if it would be more cost effective just to replace the IBM board
+ with a compatible board with at least 256K of graphics memory?  Would 
+ welcome alternative suggestions and/or replacement board possibilities.

I have used the Zenith EGA/VGA Z-449 board for a year now and it is
very fast and does up to 640 X 480 resolution.  Unfortunely, they
want to much for it at Zenith.  But I am looking to up grade to 
a 16 bit VGA board and would be willing to sell mine.
