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.
