Sell it and get a better card. The P9x00 isn't likely to have the sort of support that the S3 family has for a long time, if ever. People reading this looking for a good card for X; _anything_ with an S3 part on it, even those cheezy "Trio 64" parts, is a good buy. I haven't heard _any_ of the X gurus suggest anything else might be better at this point in time. > Thanks, Grag -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
