I'm looking for a 24bit nubus for my IIci and I thought I would ask if anyone had any recommendations?
I'm seeing some SuperMac, Radius, Apple video cards out there (eBay & similar) but I don't know for sure which are accelerated under 7.6.1 (or 7.5.5) and how they really perform.
Anyone with suggestions?

I had a Radius PrecisionColor 24XP and it was pretty nice with 24-bit color - fast redraws of stuff but no QuickTime acceleration.

I ended up finding one of these on eBay fairly cheap and according to lowendmac it should work well and support nice resolutions.  I just about bought a Radius but the seller of the SuperMac Spectrum Power 1152 said it "tested good" in a PowerMac 7100.  The Radius was "as is" so I went with the tested card.

Hopefully this work well.  I also picked up an Apple 600e cdrom.  I'm hoping I can boot 7.6.1 straight from CD on my IIci, but I've never used a CD on this old of a machine before now.

I'm excited to see how this video card works as my plain old 8-bit card is, well, 8-bit. :)

Oops, the subject line doesn't show up, so just to be clear, I found a "SuperMac Spectrum Power 1152" on eBay.
