I heard the Stealth 64 VLB wasn't a good choice for a 40 Mhz system (ie DX4-120)
But I wanted additional input about this...

Does this card work well at 40 Mhz or not? Has anyone done this, and if so,
did you encounter any problems this card with any specific VLB I/O card?

Thanks.
Dave

I'm running the Diamond Stealth 64 Video 2meg DRAM VLB on a 486DX50 system...
Initially, I had major problems in Windows with GPF's out the wahzoo. I
talked to Diamond tech support (and Hercules as well, as I was thinking of
taking the Diamond back and getting a Hercules Dynamite). Both of the tech
support departments assured me that a VESA compliant VLB card is rated up to
40 MHz but not 50... So, you should be OK on your DX4.

BTW, in the "happy ending" department, I got rid of the screen saver program I
was using at the time and haven't had a GPF since! Still running the Stealth
64 at 50 MHz... :)

I've been running my Diamond Stealth64 DRAM VLB at 50MHz for almost 6
months now! It's scores at 50MHz are much much better than at 33 or
40MHz... I love this card!!! except that Diamond hasn't released the
f*cking drivers for Win'95 yet... growl...

I'm running my Asus PVI-486SP3 at 40Mhz with my Cyrix 5x86-120 with no
problems...actually, I'm getting outstanding performance from the
video card (Diamond Stealth 64 VLB w/ 4 Megs of VRAM)
