Gus, I don't know what the problem is with Diamond. They released the 24x 6mons after 3DS r2 came out – of course, it only supported r1. Then they said the drivers would be released in Nov 92. The new drivers are just now being released…but get this…they won't post them here since Diamond has to pay Panacea a royalty [or whatever] for each copy. I keep hearing about the 'new' drivers – but…I've got the 'new' drivers and they don't seem to work! I've said it before, and I'll say it again… IMHO, Diamond cut way too many corners trying to beat everybody to market – and now…we're all paying the price. The board is also supposed to fully compliant with VESA and its extensions – not so. You ought to hear the techno-babble Diamond's dishing up trying to explain that one! What's also disheartening…Diamond and Panacea absolutely DO NOT have they're acts together. Maybe individually they're o.k. – together…it's a fiasco. Want to read more…GO GRAPHBVEN, IBMHW, GRAPHDEV, or the WINNEW, WINADV forums. You'll get an earful from a range of users. It seems that across the board <g>, users are having problems. And the more Diamond and Panacea try to straighten it out, the bigger the mess! Eli.
