- It's very fast. The ATI graphics ultra plus is probably better, but
- probably 3 times the price too. Also I wouldn't want to get any of the first
- production run of cards that are breaking engineering frontiers. Get the 24X,
- use it for a while, then get the ultra & sell the 24X. You probably won't
- lose much on the deal.
