     I'm shopping for a new video card and wonder if I could get your help.
If you have a video card you've been using with the Wincast or the STB
capture boards that has these features, sure would appreciate it if you
would drop me the make and model.

     - At least 1280x1024x16bpp if not 24/32bpp (so 4 Meg of mem or more)
     - Wincast or STB card works well on it doing direct video at that res
     - Stable XFree drivers
     - High refresh rate (>= 65-70 Hz @ 1280x1024)

Of course stable drivers for MSW95 would be a plus, for the small amount
I'll need to boot into it.

Dayton Computerfest is coming up this weekend, and I'm hunting for this new
video card and a >= 17in monitor (monitor recommendations welcome as well).

Thanks in advance,

Randall
