Going off on a tangent ... I'm going to try building an SMP system
using modified Celeron CPUs (but *not* overclocked), and I'm looking for
a relatively inexpensive (under $100) video card. I was going to get a
cheap S3 (Virge) card, as the XFree folks recommend S3 cards, but now
I'm not sure. Anyone have any recommendations?
