Most folks doing serious 3D and ANI Pro work also do a lot of serious Image
Processing work. This is where we like the MGA. For programs like Altamira
Composer, the performance is awesome. For playing ANI flics, you are right, it
isn't any faster than a VGA. Most 'normal' VGAs won't do 1024x764x24bit either.
Again, not important for 3D work, but certainly for Image Processing.
Anyway, that's how I steer customers. Herc Graphite Pro for normal stuff, MGA
for high-end Image Processing.
One other thing. MGA is relatively cheap for its power, but I wouldn't be
surprized if similar power was available soon from other 'lo-end' boards.
