With iozone I was getting around 900kbytes/second minimum. Some scsi subsystems get around 1100kbytes/second under 386bsd. >I'll also be buyin a ELSA Winner 1000 S3-928 card (Local bus). The server is the one who does the caching and not the card at least with the X servers. Currently, XS3 uses only 1MB for both caching and displaying. As for Xfree86 support for S3 cards is coming just e-mail the Xfree86 team.
