Orchic Righteous 3D is around $190 apparently.

| 3D and a screamer from what I hear. DOS performance is only fair, but
Windows is hot...

| Prices are dropping! Our Creative graphics blaster M202 (Cirrus chip)
stopped displaying 1024 x 768 over the weekend, it would still work at
SVGA/256 color res level. I picked up the new Maxtrox Mystique 4MB WRAM at
COMPUSA this week for $119 US. They also had the Creative 3D card for
$99.
Enjoy

| 2808.16 | Diamonf for $79 | SWAM1::SOTO_RU | | Thu May 29 1997 16:23 | 10 |
| Just bought the Diamond 3D 2000 (the fixed 2MB model) for $79 at Best
Buy. They had the STB Lightspeed for $69+. It was a toss up but the
Diamond has the 3D (transparency, fogging, blending, filtering, etc)
and decent MPEG playback (software-based). And if it quickly wears out
my satisfaction, I'll give it to one of my kids who'll be more than
thrilled. No problems with drivers, yet, but I'm sure they're
forthcoming, in the rich Diamond tradition.
regards,
Ruben

| 2808.17 | anyone have any luck with diamond on bad cards? | fievel.shr.dec.com::FILGATE | Bruce Filgate SHR3-2/W4 237-6452 | Thu May 29 1997 19:26 | 11 |

I have a bad diamond 3d 2000 4MB card that I bought last Christmas.
This particular board will run for a day or two, them in the middle
of something important it will corrupt the display and have to
be rebooted. Calls to diamond require 20 minutes + of hold time
on a toll line. Mail to diamond says call us....
I'm looking for a replacement board or my money back. Anyone have
any luck?

| 2808.18 | Exchange it at store, or did you buy it mail-order? | NETCAD::BATTERSBY | | Fri May 30 1997 09:49 | 4 |
| Have you tried taking it back to the store you bought it from,
or did you purchase the Diamond 3D card mail-order?

or use a purchase/return cycle to your advantage, especially if the board
is under warrantee.

| A friend went through this with a Diamond card.
What she discovered was that it was because she bought it at a computer
show.
It seems that a lot of dealers at shows get 2MB Diamond cards, and put
another 2MB into them to upgrade them to 4MB, then sell them as 4MB boards.
Not a problem, except that they're in the habit of using chips that are
slower than spec.
Replacing the errant RAM with faster RAM seemed to have solved the problem
for her.
Don't know where your board came from, but it's at least a place to start
looking.

| 2808.21 | sounds about right, deep discount mail order.... | fievel.shr.dec.com::FILGATE | Bruce Filgate SHR3-2/W4 237-6452 | Fri May 30 1997 15:06 | 12 |

The errant card has half the memory soldered on, the other half
socketed. The problem only shows up when hot, so maybe I'll just
pull of the memory and toss it and sell the board as a 2MB. I think
the last couple of replies sum this up, the vendor was able to
make the price low by sourcing their own memory chips.
If someone would like to play, make me an offline offer, I'm
not up to playing hardware games now that the machine is running
once more. (It is a 3D 2000 Diamond Stealth)
