I (somewhere) have the specs for both the g2000 motherboar (I own one)
and the micronics VL-bus.  As far as I can tell the specs are identical.
in addition, the picture on the VL-bus specs looks identical to the 
g2000 motherboard.  If there are any differences, I don't know of them, 
but I guess you could always call micronics and ask them.

   Maxi Switch Inc. makes programmable keyboards which can have different
custom user configurations downloaded to the keyboard via a supplied
utility. They are very good in my opinion (I am using one right now). 
   Zeos sells them or you can contact Maxi Switch at 602-294-5450.

Nope, I think Gateway is having problems meeting demand and not being
very honest with their customers about it.

I ordered a memory board and the told me one week.  Every week anfter
that for over a month they told me one week every time I called.  I
wouldn't have minded waiting a month if they would have told me up
front, it will be a month.  I didn't care for the dishonesty.  I will
shop around more before I use Gateway again, even though I had been
pretty satisfied with them up until now...

Actually, from what I've heard through the grapevine, Motorola is skipping the
68050 and going to the 68060.  This chip is supposed to be in the same ballpark
as the Pentium, but I guess Motorola wanted to have the bigger number.  Maybe
they will call theirs the Sextium and piss off Intel

Uh, pardon me, but read that sentence you quote again.  I didn't say

I sure hope other manufacturers get in on the XGA-2, as, with specs like 
those listed above on an industry standard - co-processed - display
adapter, the potential to write VERY realistic games and animation
programs becomes a reality for us programmers. 

If the price drives low enough perhaps XGA-2 can replace VGA and finally
the marketing prospects becomes bright enough for wise spread, low cost,
industry standard graphics. Being limited to a lowest common denominator of 
256 color 320x200 graphics mode for animation will be gone. Look
out for some pretty fantastic flight simulators!

But the 24X will do 1280x1024x16colors and 1280x960x16colors.  However,
it must run interlaced at these resolutions.  I thought the Stealth
had to be interlaced at 1280x1024 too.  I would die with an
interlaced mode, even if it was 1280x1024.  1024x768x256@70Hz
is good enough for me (for now), and the 24X will go up to 72Hz at
this resolution, though my monitor won't.

Anyone trying to decide between the 24X and the stealth or the ultra
should remember that the stealth and the ultra can draw non-vertical or  
non-horizontal lines in hardware but the 24X cannot.  Drawing arbitrary
lines fast is really important for CAD work but not important for other 
things.  For business, dtp and most hobbyist use, windows spends almost
almost all of it's time doing bitblits, scrolling, drawing
text, moving windows, drawing and filling rectangles: all of which
the 24X can do really fast in hardware.

	Well Seagate bought out Imprimis so if you call Seagate Info # they will

   If you have Windows 3.1 installed, it could be that Smartdrive is double
buffering. Check your config.sys. This can _really_ slow a system down (by
30% or more it seems sometimes). If this is the case then you need to see if
you can remove that line safely by opening a DOS window, typing SMARTDRV /S,
and seeing if the column labeled "buffering" says "no". If it does you can
remove that line in your config.sys. If it says "yes" or "-" then don't
remove it. Drivers may be available for your SCSI card that would allow you
to remove it if you can get a hold of them (i.e. ASPI4DOS for the Adaptec
controllers).

   I've heard that Cyrix 486DLC-40 could replace on-board 386DX.  Is it for
sale for end users?  I can't find the CPU here.  What's the price?  VISA 
and international order preferred.  Thanks.

I am trying to buy a 486 based system and when I started looking at
various mail-order places, I found out that Cyrix is now making 486
chips too. Systems based on Cyrix chip instead of Intel chip are about
100-200 $ cheaper. Does anyone know about reliability of Cyrix chips
compared to Intel chips and compatibility for other software and hardware?
Is it worth buying a Cyrix based machine instead of Intel based to save
100-200$?


Also when I talked to a few mail order places, almost everyone was
quoting 100-200$ more than their advertised price in computer shopper
(november 1992), saying that CPU and memory prices have gone up in last
2 weeks. Is it really true or these guys are just trying to get as much
as they can and advertise a low price just to get calls from customers
like those camera and video mail order places do?


If anyone has anything to say on this please let me know. Thanks.

I am going to purchase a 4 mb memory SIMM memory upgrade for
my AST Premium Exec 386/25 laptop.   "Tote-a-lap" has this for
$140 (as of this moment) with a lifetime warranty -- their own
brand.  Computer Discount Warehouse has Kingston or Okidata for
$180.  Does anyone have experience with any of these?  Or any other
brands?
Thanks.
