Excuse my jumping in here, but thought I could answer a few questions. I believe the Retina board is capable of in the niegborhood of 1280×1024 at 24 bit, although I don't know if it has an hardware accelerator on it, but it supposedly speeds up screen redraw times alittle bit. I don't know the what the refresh rate is, but we get around that problem by using little cards called flicker fixers, which allow us to use NEC MuliSyncs without any problem. It gives us a NI display too. Your right that you can't get accelerators greater than 25mhz for the A4000. In fact, we don't even use A4000s. Also, the Screamer is not yet available in stores, but we have one now, and are sort of beta testing it. NewTek has informed us that it will be ready for sale sometime in the first qurater of 94.
