Yes, I know about the only one module. How memory do you have in yours, Kevin?

I no longer have a 1024-32. Mine used a 4M module, but a couple of customers opted for 16M.

Gotta question for you… I need a graphics board that'll do the following : (1) Give me *GREAT* quality S-Video output, for single framing. (2) Has drivers for 3D Studio and if poss. Win 3.1 (3) Is capable of very high quality frame capture from VTR (S-Video) (4) Ideally is compatible with Targa+ command set (so I can trigger frame grabs at exact frames with BCD controller and BCD software) (5) Optional – Provides high quality ChromaKey (6) Optional – Is a high speed windows graphics card! (7) Is expandable and on the bleeding edge! Any thoughts?? I'm considering the Illuminator Pro (but it costs a fortune)..and the Fast Video Machine which is also muchos dollars. I was hoping to get away with spending sub-$2.5K

Gee, Suresh, how about a Targa+ (use another card for Windows to handle #6) and maybe forget about #7. The Ill Pro is not Targa+ compatible and will not use those programming tools. Everything else you've asked for is included. If you can lose the Targa+ compatibility, then consider the Ill Pro or wait for the lower-end version of Truevision's DVR-architecture board (requires EISA bus, though). My current approach is just a fast 486-66DX2 EISA VESA local bus system with Targa+ 64 and Diamond Speedstar 24X, and this works well. I'm even selling my ATVista. Of course, now I've got an Indigo Extreme to keep me amused.
