Dave, .. I think maybe you are being a little harsh with Video 7. .. To get a feel for the complexity and memory requirements of the Advanced User Interface on graphics cards, I suggest you read Melanie Knutsen's "A Device Driver Primer" in the current issue of CADalyst. (Volume 5, Number 2, Page 33.) .. After reading Melanie's excellent article, I am inclined to believe that Video 7 probably made a reasonable decision to trade some colors for resolution. I'm interested in your evaluation of the driver other than the number of colors, as well. .. Good luck in evaluating your alternatives. ..
