77.0. "Low-end graphic card for ASV 300 4/266" by BRLLNT::MONTAQUILA (Cover me, I'm changing lanes!) Tue Apr 08 1997 10:30

    
    Customer wants to order a AlphaServer 300 4/266 running WNT and wants
    a low-end graphics card.  Out of the supported options I found the cards
        
            PB2GA-FB 
        
            PBXGA-AN which is replaced w/ PBXGB-AN.
        
        Neather of these cards are saleable in the price file.
        
        I know I can go to 24 plane graphics but customer doesn't want/need
        it.
          
        Question:  What low-end graphics cards is supported and SALEABLE on
        the ASV 300 4/266 running WNT?

77.1Options...XDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringTue Apr 08 1997 12:209
   Try the PBXGB-Ax (-AA) PowerStorm 3D30, or the 3D10.

   ZLXp-L* (Dynamic Pictures V192) is another option.

   The PBXGA-AA and PBXGA-AN are the same -- the latter
   includes media and licenses for Open3L for NT.

   Or try the Matrox MGA or AccelPro SN-PCXAG-AW.

RE: ZLXp-L* (Dynamic Pictures V192) is another option.

This is a mid-range, 24 plane graphics card.  

The Powerstorm 3D30 is a low- to mid-range card.  The
3D10 is a low-end card, as are the AccelPro and Matrox 
cards.

    Workstations has told me that the 3D10 has gone EOL,
    so your SOL if you want that one.
