There >are quite a few features which you cannot use right now. The only major Mach8 feature I can't use is 1280x1024x16; this is of marginal utility, being interlaced. The Mach32 can do 1280x1024x256 NI, high-color modes, etc. If you can't use these things, there's little reason to buy one; you certainly won't notice the speed improvement in a normal windowing environment. >Are do you find any docs how to programm the mach8's dotclocks (yeah, there >are 16 of them).
