Help, I'm confused - I thought that all Diamond cards were a no-no since
Diamond wouldn't release info on their cards in order to allow a driver
to be written, this info is in all the FAQs!
I was holding back from buying a good PC package including a Diamond
Stealth 24 VLB because I thought it wouldn't work with X.
My other alternative was a slightly lower spec machine with a
Cirrus 5426 VLB, which also isn't listed as supported.
Should I go ahead and buy one of these machines? I can only hope that the
answer is yes ...
