personally i think the diamond II by Novag is good for the money . plays a
strong game , makes you work .

i also got a computer that just might surprise you .its by radio shack , usually
radio shack has weak wimpy computers .but the radio shack 2250xl is rather
strong . i have seen it for aroud $100 and at aroud a min or more i think it is
stronger than the mach IV ,novag sapphire .it gives hiarcs 7.32 on a 300 mhz
just about all it can handle .usually if it dont draw with hiarcs it will hang
till the end game .at 300 mhz and 70 mg hash the radio shack gets out classed in
the end game .
