Larry, For one thing, and please correct me if I am wrong, the Qvision has no truecolor or hicolor capability. I know that the best way to run 3DS is with a separate framebuffer and monitor (I have the Targa64+ and a Sony PVM-1341) but it is nice to be able to use Windows-based paint and drawing programs at 24bit depth in support of 3DS. I refuse to run Windows on a TV monitor. Also, the Qvision is not the fastest thing around for drawing lines. It is reasonably fast, but for what it adds to the cost of the machine, I bet you could get something much better from a vendor that specializes in graphics hardware. Don't get me wrong. I think Qvision is a good setup for 95% of the PC power users out there. And nobody does Intel machines better than you guys. Bailey
