- Hello,
- I am planning to purchase a new PC system. I would like to get
- the more up to date system. I am think that a VL bus system with
- a VL Bus IDE controller and VL bus graphics card will be the way to go.
- Am I right? I also have a few questions concerning VL and PCI buses...
-
- Should I wait for a PCI system? When will it come out?
- Are most VL bus system compatible with each other? Should I wait?
-
- How fast does the VL bus IDE controller work?
- How about the last generation IDE controller on most motherboards?
-
- How about VL-Bus based Ethernet controller card? Does it exist?
- If yes, how does it compare to EISA Enet cards?
-
- How about the VL graphics cards?
-
- Thanks for the info.
