I should specify that my interest is not running on a true arcade monitor, but in using custom vbe modes. My nvida 128 card has problems without Scitech, so I wonder if later nvidia cards would too. Specifically only part of the left side of the screen is visible. But this may be due top a known bug in that card's bios.

I'm really not even sure what specs to look for to know what card does what I want. The G400 with that gx00 utility sounds good - I emailed the author and he;s working a custom mode designer for that utility - I suppose that would make the g400 great for many DOS programs.

Heh, ironic that I may be running a PC close to 1Ghz and my main concern is DOS video! =P

Thanks for any ideas and/or info.
