- A cost efficient way to get much faster, higher rez, 256 color video--
-
- Check out the ATI 8524/a Ultra card. It's being heavily discounted in some
- mail order companies. It is mca _and_ isa, so it has some extra resale value
- built into it. It works great on my model 70 with windows and graphic apps.
- I saw the card selling for around $239. I paid $369 3 months ago! And that
- was the lowest price available at the time.
