There is a new Sony 17ES1 monitor capable of 1600x1200 at 70Hz refresh rate. Check with NCA in Sunnyvale, CA. -- the last I heard they were selling the monitors at $1100 or $100 cheaper than what I pay for my Nanao f550i 17" max rate 1280x1024 but at low refresh rate. Also the S3 864 graphic cards are just hitting the market, the 864 is about twice as fast as your typical sparc10 with their gx board. Actix and #9 are/will be selling S3 864 based cards. -- FREE unix, gcc, tcp/ip, X, open-look, interviews, tcl/tk, MIME, midi, sound at freebsd.cdrom.com:/pub/FreeBSD Amancio Hasty, Consultant | Home: (415) 495-3046 | e-mail hasty@netcom.com | ftp-site depository of all my work: ahasty@cisco.com | sunvis.rtpnc.epa.gov:/pub/386bsd/X
