(* indicates feature not found in Twin Turbo) Cursor Options: #9's exclusive "Chameleon Cursor™" Window Drag (retains window image): As you can see, the Hawkeye has the most feature rich set of controls of the two, and I found the Chameleon Cursor  especially useful for cursor identification on the large monitors at high resolution. It also appears a lot more "polished" than the Twin Turbo's, but that's just asthetics. Other exclusive features like the adjustable font cache and "window drag" options are nice touches. When window drag is enabled moving a windows maintains its contents instead of changing to an outline - and even maintains its image on the 8500's monitor as well. For these reasons the Hawkeye v4.50 control panel was deemed to have the best feature set. To view the Twin Turbo Control panel, click here Copyright © 1997.
