Experience (by T. Sunagawa)

> What resolutions, color depths and refresh rates does this card?
640 x 480 256/32K/64K/16M
800 x 600 16/256/32K/64K
1024 x 768 16/256/32K/64K
1280 x 1024 16

> How much video RAM does it have (I'd think 512 KB)?
   1MB standard. I added 2x 512 KB VRAM on it's vacant space. with this modification the card is capable to handle 65 K color in 1024 x 768 resolution but no improvement in it's operational speed.

> Any other comments on this card?
   A little bit faster than XGA-2. Requires 32 KB RAM space. Color image is slightly pale comparing to XGA-2. Win9x have driver for it (choose Cirrus 5426). If 1024 x 768 256C is enough for you then I recommend XGA-2, but if you need 65K color in 1024 x 768 then this card is the one to have though you need to do some soldering works.
   According to my friend NT4 handled his VRAM upgraded card just as with 1MB VRAM though it had 2 MB on it. I've not tested NT4 with my upgraded card.
