I am shopping for a system with true 24 bits color graphic, I saw a lot of Speedstar 24x, but since I am planning to program the card directly, Speedstar 24x is out if I cann't get information as to how to program it. But I have a hard time finding out what other vendors have a true 24 bits graphics display, anybody ? Also I am also looking at local bus (so I don't pay penalty for the graphic when running DOS programs using the local bus as compared with just the accelerated card), but most local bus graphic seems to only support 32k color.
