Re: Best 30khz video card?

I have used both a geforce 4 and a ATI radeon 7000/VE (my current card) and
I've had the same difficulty with both, unable to hit low pclock values.
Setting it higher to 7 or 8 MHz however gave me a very usable range on my 15Khz
Standard Res monitor. 

If I may recommend, although I have no real experence, I think the AdvanceVGA
card from Ultimarc is maybe the best card to use for a 15KHz or a MultiSync
arcade monitor. 15KHz out of the box, a software patch to add (not change to)
30 KHz, and Advancemame will overwrite it all to give you one of the better
RAMDACs for low pclocks which equals low resolutions. It's definately going to
be in my next arcade cab with a Betson Multisync. It should definately be
something that you give a serious look at. Unfortunately though, it's a little
more expensive then most of the others used for AdvanceMAME cabinets at $80 US,
but it still worth a good look.
