Is there a 4MB version for the Ultra Pro (Mach32)??? I just bought the
Graphic Pro TURBO (Mach64) with 2MB VRAM, and I'm not sure FreeBSD 2.0
will support this card or not. Let me know if you are using the same
card.

BTW I was thinking of getting 4MB, but those VRAMs are *REALLY*
expensive ($400 for 2MB). Let me know if you know of a way to get them
cheaper than direct from ATI.

#9 has a 128 bit card now, so I expect ATI will have one soon. Wondering
what will they call it?
   Mach8   - Graphic Ultra
   Mach32  - Graphic Ultra Pro
   Mach62  - Graphic Ultra Pro Turbo
   Mach128 - Graphic Ultra Pro Twin Turbo ?  8-)
