So is Win95 compared with Win31.  Does that mean it's better though?  :)

Just curious, as I am extremely happy with my VLB CL5428 under OS/2.  The
earlier Cirrus cards weren't too good, but these current ones are superb.

Not really, but I wouldn't doubt it.  All of the Cirrus cards I've seen
have been branded with various obscure Asian names, so it seems likely that
Cirrus merely OEM their chipsets to these manufacturers.  Just a guess
though.
