question on eisa video board performance i have an eisa machine and i just do not understand why most eisa video cards only match the performance of their isa counterparts for instance the eisa orchid pro designer iis e is only about as fast as the isa diamond speedstar plus which isn t what i would call fast i don t understand why eisa video cards aren t as a group on the same level of performance as local bus cards given that eisa video cards have a bit bus to move data around instead of isa s bits since they are not why would anyone me included pay a higher cost for a eisa video card when its performance is no better than and often worse that a much cheaper isa video board such as a diamond speedstar x from pc magazine s i think recent report i know that ati makes a pretty fast eisa video card but it s around which is just about double what my wallet will allow me to spend and for i could get a diamond viper and still have left over of course i d have to get a local bus mother board too can anyone shed some light on my confusion frustration thanks christopher wroten cfw world std com
