Does anybody ever encounter a problem with Diamond Stealth 64 PCI Graphics 2000 series (DRAM version)? If you have one, try run it under 800x600x 16bit resolution and see if you encounter a blank screen. It happens to me on two different new video cards on three different motherboards: a generic 486DX4-100, an Intel Zappa, and a generic Triton-based motherboard. The cards I am using are the OEM version. If you also have a blank screen while running the above video mode, then my theory is correct that every Stealth 64, at least the 2000 Graphics series, has a serious hardware bug. Timing or interrupt problem? Btw....the particular model uses Trio64 graphics chip. Jeffry Komala
