Linda,

You didn't mention what kind of computer your are using.
I am presuming that it's a 486 if you are considering a VESA card.
You also didn't mention if you have a VESA slot on your board....if
you don't then you certainly aren't going to be able to make use of
the card<g>
How much video memory does your current card have?
If you have the VESA slot and your current card does not have any
more than 1 meg of memory I'd do it just to compare the performance.
You're only talking 15 minutes of your time (if you have the right
drivers)....

Just my 2.5 cents

Best,
Bob Chapel
