Keywords: S3, XS3 Message-ID: <1993Mar26.012714.13235@njitgw.njit.edu> Date: 26 Mar 93 01:27:14 GMT Sender: news@njit.edu Organization: New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, N.J. Lines: 26 Nntp-Posting-Host: hertz.njit.edu Hello world, This question might be an FAQ or a recently-asked-and-already-answered question (RAAAQ, RAAQ or RAQ?)... I got my home box yesterday. I ordered it with a PUMA 805 VL Bus VGA card, but what has come is an ATI Ultra VLB. Of course I called my representative person but he said that they couldn't get PUMA because the manufacturer had back-orders. Also he said that ATI is better and more expensive than PUMA but he didn't charge extra cost....foo, Ok. It could be worse. I don't want to wait for some more weeks. At least I can sell my ATI and get new one...(though I think ATI Ultra is a good choice for Windows :) So, I'd like to ask all experts. What is the best S3 VGA card for XS3? I prefer VL Bus card but if there is no significant performance improvements, I don't care whether it is VLB or ISA. Thanks in advance. Any responses should be much appreciated.
