This board has 2 Meg of on-board memory (vram ??) I'm looking to upgrade to 2.2.1 soon, and possibly thinking of buying a new graphics board. I'm lucky enough to be using a DEC (Digital) 17 inch monitor. Not sure of the specs with regard to maximum resolution and color depth. I'd like recommendations with regards to a better video card to slot into my machine. Should be PCI based, and compatible with Windows 95. (In fact this is of importance since the machine is used in a business, and FreeBSD is run when required to do compiling and internet related activities). I've heard good reports of the Matrox Millenium and Tseng Labs ET6000. Card must work with Xfree86 3.2. What do people recommend ? -- David Henshaw dhenshaw@silas.cc.monash.edu.au
