I've got the ATI Mach64 Graphics Pro Turbo PCI with 4 megs VRAM on
my 486 with 16 megabytes RAM. The XFree86 3.1.1 Mach64 patchlevel 2
server runs beautifully on it. Never had one iota of problem with it.
Be sure to get a nice monitor to go with it. ;-)
>Also, is the PCI version supported?
XFree86 3.1.1 is the first release with a Mach64 driver.
