Sherwood,
Just got back. We like the Diamond Speedstar 24 as a 24-bit VGA.
Genoa used to be a bit late with drivers and we weren't satisfied w/tech
support on previous products (back in the 5400 & 6400 days). Is it Tseng
Labs-based? Diamond is also coming out with the 24X, accelerated for
Windows, although I believe that board is S3-based.

yes its tseng based on the 4000. i had a very simple problem with
1024x768x256 panacea drivers conficting with the genoa but i just set the
drivers up differntly and every thing worked great. its a nice card for
140.00 and the 640x480x24 works great. and i also noticed about a 25%
increase in the redraw time in the editor so im happy.

Kevin,
Enjoy the show? What were the highlights in your opinion? I was wondering
how much the Speedstar 24 is and which drivers would work with 3ds2.0 – I
checked my Vibrant drivers and there was no mention of that card unless
it's a ramdac or sierra based system for true colour.

Kevin,
I used to like to Diamond card also. I have recieved news that the
current 24-bit card will be discontinued shortly. The will stop using the
TSENG 4000 and start using the Western Digital. The 3DS drivers I recieved
don't support 24 bit color. Also rel 1 of the windows drivers caused
problems. Diamonds says, "Ya, we know."
BTW, the 24X is not S3 and will replace the 24. That is why Diamond is not
thinking about enhancing the Speedstar 24 drivers.
