Hi there, Mr P! How's wedlock treating you? I just went the other way and am a wild and crazy single guy again <hah!> My old VRAM has died on me. Fortunately, at about the same time, Video 7 sent all us SWAT team members a copy of their FOCUS dlp software and a graphics card to run it on. Unfortunately, that card is a 1024i <tell me about gift horses <g>>. As yer knows, I'm running a Rasterex Lazer for AutoCAD, but the 1024i handles everything else. It seems ok, but it gets such groans when mentioned in the same breath as other SVGA cards, I'm thinking I should get another card… Do you think a VRAM II is worthwhile? Or do you think I should look to something else entirely? On a related matter, I'm getting a new pc soon; it ain't going to be cheap so I'll need it for a) AutoCAD; b) Windows; and c) 3D Studio and Animator Pro. Is it possible to get one card that will handle b) and c) well? And is it possible to run something like a Targa+ AND the Rasterex AND SVGA in one machine? Dave
