I have to 4M card, and the mach64 chipset... I have gotton the X software to work with the setting of a 2Meg turbo... There is no 4 meg driver in the list. I tried to modify the 2Meg driver to work for a 4 Meg card. Didn't work, but I will not claim knowledge of how to write drivers.

Sounds as good as the others :) Drop me an e-mail if you have some more questions on its performance or ??? -James In article <60.9942.5307.0N1C2C26@canrem.com>, Barnaby Ng <barnaby.ng@canrem.com> wrote: >In article <3c63vf$g1r@gaia.ucs.orst.edu> MILLERJ@OES.ORST.EDU wrote:- > >> The subject says most of it.
