2566.0. "ATI MACH64 AS2000 performance?" by QBUS::E_BURKHALTER () Mon Mar 31 1997 20:24

    
    A customer received two new AS2000 with ATI MACH64 ISA
    cards in each.  They don't want to use a graphics card
    as their console device.  They have a VT510 off COM1
    that they want to use as the console..
    
    They are trying to remove the MACH64 card, but along
    with the system came a letter:
    
 **********************************************************************
    
        Dear Customer,                                                         
                                                                                
                                                                                
        This letter is to notify you of a configuration constraint which        
        was not communicated through the normal ordering process.               
                                                                                
        Your AS2000 system has been configured with an EISA PB2GA-AA or CA      
        video card in slot 3 or 4. To maximize system performance this          
        video  card should always remain in slot 3 or 4.                        
                                                                                
        Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may have         
        caused. The system you have received has been tested at our             
        factory and meets the system specifications at the time of your         
        purchase.                                                               
                                                                                
        Yours sincerely,

    The above letter is in reference to the Qvision graphics card.
    
    By removing the ATI Mach 64 card, should this affect system
    performance ?

    Nope, you can remove it. No performance issues should arise.
