  17. With the Stealth, DOS is not as fast as with TSENG4000 based cards, because
  18. of the S3 chip it is based on.
  19.  
  20. The 24x is said to be as fast (maybe faster) then the TSENG4000 based
  21. boards when it comes to DOS - remember, the TSENG4000 is usually
  22. considered the fastet DOS chip, but it is slow in Windows.  The stealth is
  23. just the opposite, and the 24x is fastest in both.
