Chuck: Here's what I have compiled so far (this time via Ziff-Davis's MacBench 2.0 video tests): Quadra 630 10 7100/66 11.59 IIci/030, no cache, int'l video 8bit: 3.63 IIci/601, int'l video 8 bit 6.45 IIci/601,Radius 24XK 24 bit 5.6 IIci/601, Radius 24XK 8 bit 7.05 IIci/601, Radius 24XK B&W 8.91 The first two results (Quadra & 7100) are from the file that came with the software; the rest I did myself. My monitor is a standard Apple 13" RGB. There are other combinations I intend to test, but they involve swapping cards in and out etc, so it won't happen right away. It looks to me like the Radius card is bumping up against Nubus bandwidth limits. Nothing – even going to black & white – can match the Quadra, let alone the 7100. Sigh. On the other hand, the 24 bit video is plenty fast enough for my purposes, though that may change if I ever spring for a 19" monitor. – Regards Chris
