Sounds like a card with Edsun CEG chips, these chips replace the RAMDAC
on a standard VGA card and has anti-aliasing hardware builtin, hence
the increase in apparant resolution. I heard there is a little prefomance
degradation, how much slower?

Orchid is supposed to have such a replacement chip out soon. I haven't
called them so I don't know if it's out already. Has any Orchid owner gotten
this chip yet?
