My guess: 486/66 DX2 motherboard. Any suggestions for MFTR? Any known conflicts? BT542 adaptec workalike. Is this supported yet in the lastest patches? Actix GraphicsEngine 32. Amancio Hasty (of XS3 fame) says it does 120k Xstones. (mebbe it was 100k). 16 megs RAM. 340 meg maxtor or suitable equiv. 500 meg tape drive (mabye 2gig archive python if we can swing it) 17" 1280x1024 76 HZ+ scanrate. Saw a phillips recently that looked nice. It has the same INVAR shadow mask & flat screen as MAG but a .26 dot pitch and upto 100 HZ scanning rate. Havent seen them reviewed of late so I'm leary. Does anyone else have a favorite display that has a high refresh rate? If I dont find a suitable alternate I'll probably just get a MAG 15F. The reason for the high refresh rate is 1. It wont beat with the overhead flourescents and (2) If it has 1280x1024 @ 76HZ and above it will also support our new MAC Centris were going to use for MAC development. Alta Research NE2000 compatible ethernet. Built in 10base T plus thin-net & visible status lights for < $115. What is the closest to this I can find in Shopper?
