I installed the Sierra drivers and BIOS over the Reactor drivers and
BIOS and everything worked OK until my monitors low power standby
feature kicked in. The machine locks up about 7 out of 10 times. My
problem with the Reactor was really messed up fonts when I go to MS
DOS mode. I can type mode co80 and it clears up. This problem also
happens 7 out of 10 times. What scenario should I go with? Are the
Sierra drivers that much better than the Reactor drivers that I should
disable power management. I hate to do that because I leave my
computer on an awful lot. I appreciate any and all suggestions.

I don't think the Sierra drivers are a significant improvement over
Intergraph's. The Sierra's GUI is faster (text scrolling) but
DirectDraw performance is unchanged (Intergraph's are faster when you
disable Vsync in Flip).
I have never been able to get my monitor to wake-up from low power
standy-by, I always get a blue-screen error. I just disabled all the
power management and I turn off my monitor when I'm not using it (I
leave my machine on all day too).
