Really hope *this* can be true. Can't remember how many times RezTek have
push back the schedule. According to GS+, it should be released Jan 1993,
then due to some changes, it is push back to August or September, and now it
is...

True. I saw the TurboRez myself in a GS with my own eyes, and can verify this
is true. In fact, in my opinion, the display is better than the IBM.

All I am concern is to get this card out as soon as possible. The time is
running out... the later it come out, the smaller the market it can capture.
I am more interested in a card that work now than a card with all sorts of
features that came out a year or two later.

Last year I can tell you straight that yes, I would buy a TurboRez. But I am
not sure now. Will GNO/DRWM supports TurboRez? Will any software (other than
those supplied) support TurboRez? Where is Animesia 3D?
