- I am not familiar with the cards you mention but a very good
- professional card for the PC is the Truevision Targa card with 4 mg of
- ram. You can get 1 or 2 mg configurations depending on your need. The
- targa card is capable of 32 bit (millions of colors with alpha channel)
- color with broadcast outputs. The prices range in the 1500 to 3500
- range. They have a Mac version also. If you want a great Mac card use
- the Intelligent Resources Video Explorer. I am using this card with a
- Mac IIfx (I know, I know but I have PCs too) and some great drawing and
- 3D animation programs. Truevision is in Indianapolis if you want to
- contact directory assistance.
