Hi there,

Well, the Q700's internal video sucks badly, my Quadra got nearly twice as fast just by adding a PDS video board. The picture quality is MUCH better too. It does 24 bit faster than the internal
video did 8 bit.
Ok, that isn't fair since the board in question is a miroRAINBOW GX for which you had to bring money in buckets to buy one and that isn't even supported by miro anymore :-(
habe fun
