> I have a 12" card in front of me. At one end it says "1999,90 Apple > Computer 670-0310". At the other end, 820-0310-05 Macintosh Display > 8*24*GC. It HAS two empty 68-pin sockets (for Global??? vram I > think). Doesn't seem to be any better than a Radius Precision Color > 8*24X.
It isn't, without the control panel. Once you have the control panel for the GC installed, your video output speed jumps enormously. Without it, it's just a regular 8*24 (the control panel redirects QuickDraw to the card's firmware and accelerates performance). Trust me, the speed difference *is* noticible. My IIsi flies with it. The disadvantage of it is that you'll get a lot of video artifacting if you're above 7.1, but since all I use is 7.1, that's actually no problem. Again, the control panel is to blame. However, the other neat thing is that it seems to work for Power Macs, too (or at least that's what I've been told); I've been tempted to get another one for my 7100 and see if the ATI Extension accelerates it as others have hinted. -- ----------------------------- personal page: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Point Loma Nazarene University * [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MOVIE IDEA: Ferris Bueller's E-mail Signature ------------------------------ -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
