I've a very simple question: how do an ET6000 based video board,
XFree86 and FreeBSD go together? Since my ISA board can't really
keep up with my P5, I've decided to move on.

An alternative might be a cheap S3 board. Being able to play 3D
games a bit faster in DOS/Windows is a plus, but being able to
run X is essential.

Does anybody have a recommendation for a specific board or vendor?
