Sorry I have been so outa touch lately, but we have had a TON going on
here. Good stuff dealing with the Mechanical products (Designer IS
SHIPPING now!). I did glean one thing from your message that I must
clarify…
>> The MGA and MGAII do up to 1280×1024 at 24bits <<
I received my 4Mb PCI MGAII today, and inspite of a bad ram chip in
the fourth meg (aaarrrggghhh) the card is INCREDIBLE. Anyone doing
_any_ windows work should definitely consider one of these. But the
point of this response is to clarify one thing, the 4Mb MGAII _WILL
NOT_ do 1280x1024x24bit. It will do 1152x882x24bit, 1280x1024x15bit
and 1600x1200x15bit. The lack of 24bit support at 1280 was a real
shocker for me, as all their literature and spec sheets show this.
However, the 15bit (32,000 color) support at 1600×1200 is pretty
nice. I have it hooked to an IDEK VisionMaster 8221 and the package
is really sweet.
>> … is poor 3DS support <<
I agree, and I am awaiting Vibrants response. (Pleading is a better phrase!)
Hey, I'm back in full force,
