I am looking for a new video card for my VL bus DX2-66. I have version 3.0 of 3D-studio and have seen a few video card names floating around e-mail and was looking for suggestions from anyone. Also, has anyone tried any of the Hercules cards?

Mark: Check out the STB Pegasus VL. It's a real price/performance leader at $849.00. It uses the S3 928 chip and comes with 4 meg of VRAM and BNC connectors, as well as a VGA feature connector. You can talk to the guy who designed it over on the STB forum and the card comes with a lifetime warranty. I bought it so I could do 24-bit color in Windows at 1024×768 and it's FAST (39 million Winmarks in 24-bit color)! I only paid $639.00 for my card and I would put it up against the pricier Matrox Impression VL any day. Gary.

The Matrox is the top of the line choice — be sure to look at the 3MB version.

Hi Mark, See the "Which video card" thread.
