- Take it from someone else in the same boat... its your card. After
- replacing an older Diamond Speedstar 24 (ET4000 ISA based card) with a
- faster VLB trident, it does make all the difference in the world. (even
- with an overclocked ISA bus, the poor card was drowning under the load).
-
- Let me get this right... you're using an ISA video card in a Pentium 100?
- (I've heard of twisted, but this takes the cake ;) Are you running this
- on a 40meg RLL drive? <g>
-
- You can find a cheap local bus Cirrus Logic based card for <$100 these
- days (I've seen VLBs for <$40).
