Dirk........thank you for researching the hardware and giving a nice review. I've looked at Appian Graphics long and hard. I agree that their software is preferable. I'm not a real techie, so I don't like to play around with software problems. Their website is outdated. They are currently using SGRAM. You can also add up to four J3's to run a total of 16 monitors off one computer, using their premier driver software. Given this new info, would you still recommend Colorgraphics over Appian? S.W.

[multimon adapter cards evaluation revised] today i got more info about the appian jeronimo cards. Based on the 'jeronimo user's guide': ftp://ftp.appiantech.com/pub/appian/jeronimo/J3x/general/juguide.PDF the appian cards are based on the following chips: J1 & J2 : CL GD-5462 J3 : CL GD-5465 Now, Cirrus Logic says: cirrus.com the GD-5465 has a 230Mhz(!) Ramdac integrated on the chip. This high end for sure. so, my previous evaluation whether to buy appain or colorgraphic adapter card has to be revised (it was based on the assumption that the J3 card has a GD5462) according to this new fact: The J3 card is not only the card with the better hardware performance it has the better software driver/utility as well.
