I'm quite sure the cards I had problems with were using CL chipsets. I know becuase now whenever I shop for graphics addapters I always open the box and check them for CL chips, no matter what the card brand. If Diamond cards are using s3, that certainly wouldn't be a problem. I like s3's as well. One peice missing is that my bad experiences with Diamond were in the VL-Bus days. Prehaps they've come around to s3 chips now that everything is pci. -Tim
