John, >> The MGA II series is around $500, and is super fast but lacks 3D hardware. << YES, by stripping the overhead of the Gouraud shading, etc. they were able to "squeeze" a few million more WINMarks from them. What this means to the real world I don't know. Another benefit of the new MGAII line is that the 2+ model can be purchased with 2MB VRAM and upgraded to 4MB later (user installable). I agree that the MGAII line is THE choice for anyone that spends alot of time at high color depths in Windows. >> There is a PRO model with more memory, but I think it's only for greater 24bit resolution in Windows. << The PRO version (4.5Mb VRAM and optional 4Mb DRAM Z-Buffer) is specifically designed for 24-BIT resolutions, and can do 24-Bit at 1280 x 1024! Pushing may way in after a couple days off, Chuck
