- I have been bugging ATI about getting an upgrade for my old Graphics Ultra
- and they keep blowing me off. Gateway has been shipping systems with the
- new Ultra card and I've noticed it in some computer catalogs I get. If
- you ordered directly from ATI, that may be your problem. I feel they are
- maxxed out just trying to fill orders for Gateway, etc. so direct orders
- and updates get low priority.
-
- I am happy with the older Ultra card so if the new one is as good as they
- say I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed. Reading messages on Internet
- does point out that there are minor problems with the current Windows 3.1
- drivers though.
-
- All in all I'd say if you ordered direct from ATI, go to another place. If
- its not altogether important which card you go with take a look at the
- 24X. I hear its pretty nice also.
