How good is Reactor Verite at 'normal" stuff?

I haven't really done much with it, but from others I've heard it is very impressive. Text looks fine to me using 1024x768 on my 17". It has no 24-bit modes, but in 16-bit however, the highest resolution is 1280x1024. At 32-bit, the highest res is 800x600. -- Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/
I'm about sold on the Reactor Verite as the all-in-one solution. I realise that its 3D capabilities are very good but I need to know how well it works in other applications. I need to know how its mpeg performance is. I would also like to know how well it renders text in '95 and NT (say in Word7). Hopefully not as fuzzily as the ET6000. I would also like to know its highest 2D Windows resolution in 16 and 24bit colour. Does it do 1,280 in 24bit? What about 1,152 x 864? I use 1,024 up to 1,280 on my 17" and need at least 16bit colour. I look at jpegs a lot (purely for scientific purposes :-) so I need good clear 16-24 bit at at least 1,024 x 768. Thanks, Tony Lai

I really like the deep resolution and high refresh rate of my Matrox and this is the single factor holding me back from the InterGraph card. I would love to play ICR2 in photorealistic splendor, but not if I have to give up high performance under Windows NT 4.0. Clark

I don't think there is a memory upgrade available, but considering at this point there are no NT drivers (they are in development) it's really a moot point. -- Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/
