>>ATI Mach 64 w/4MB, PCI – I have heard lots of moaning about this one Just from people who don't know their computers (and/or memory manager), I guess. I got the ATI Mach 64 with 4 Megs of RAM (PCI) and wouldn't trade it for anything. It's the fastest thing around, gives me 1280×1024 in 16.7 mio colors and comes with everything you need software-wise. The new Vibrant driver works great with it. (BTW, a friend of mine has the Diamond (2Meg, a BIG mistake in comparison) JD

Hi Jack, >>>>ATI Mach 64 w/4MB, PCI – I have heard lots of moaning about this one >>Just from people who don't know their computers (and/or memory manager), I >>guess. Oh really? What do you attribute then the problem that was associated with 3D Studio when loading? Wasn't it a BIOS bug? I don't have a problem with ATIs (I have the VLBus, GUpro Mach 32 w/2mb Ram) but they do tend to have certain problems that other cards don't, with drivers and such, I mean. Alex K.

I am about to order a machine with one of these cards in it….should I be aware of problems with it? Nope, (except it uses COM4:, so you can't use it with anything else) When it comes to speed, the ATI GUP is unbeatable, I run it at 1280×1024 in 16.7 mio colors, a real joy to the eye… JD
