In Reply to: What video card supports 16-bit and interlaced modes on a 15kHz arcade monitor?!?! LONG posted by Rockin' G on 17, 2000 at 4:09 PM:
Did the 6326 on the motherboard use system memory, or did it have its own? If it used system memory, it'll probably be faster in the AGP card version. The 8MB AGP card version (also available in PCI) will run you about $30, and comes with TV out.
: Believe it or not, the best support I've seen for my 15kHz arcade monitor is from VSyncMAME, using a $70 all-in-one K6-2 motherboard with a SiS6326 on-board video card (the SiS6326 is specifically supported by VSyncMAME). Unfortunately, according to the author of Mon-Arc, the 6326 is SLOW. I experienced MANY games playing at less than 60FPS using this motherboard with an AMD K6-2 450... games I would expect to not have problems, such as Pac-Mania (less than 30FPS), and Super Space Invaders (sound was provider by a standard ISA SoundBlaster 16). So I relegated that MB to other tasks, and am now using a 433MHz Celeron system with a "real" AGP slot and the same SB16... I haven't been able to compare performance to the el-cheapo motherboard since I haven't found any video card that works as well as the on-board video on that thing!
