I have very similar in my 7600 and 7300. I am reasonably sure one is a TwinTurbo because it is what was advertised on ebay. On my 7300 there is TwinTurbo control panel software (thanks to someone on this list way back). The card on my 7600 is a Chinese job I got brand new for about $20 US! It specifies similar to the 7300 one but has no control panel. Apple Profiler Info on my 7600 video card: Slot $C1 Display card Card type: display Card name: IMS,tt128mb8A Card model: tt128m Card ROM #: Not available Card revision: 1 Card vendor ID: 10E0 Display Screen Size (pixels): 1024 x 768 Grays/Colors: Millions Resolution (dpi): 72 x 72 Additional Information: Main screen It works like the one on my 7300. But I will look at the control panel you mention later. An interesting thought, Matt. Can't remember if there was anything on scrolling, I'd be pleasantly surprised if it can be speeded up. David Elmo Hey, Dan, I know you want a metrication on this! Some numbers! None of this waffly talk eh? OK. I will do it right here and now on this 7600 with the 20" monitor on the card specified above.
