In an earlier note in freebsd-chat, I blathered:
% configure on my S3/805 board. Imagine my surprise when he returned
% with a Matrox card with a ViRGE+ chip on it! ($153 for 2Mb/PCI, at
% Software & More in SLC).

Uh, no. Sorry, must have had some synapses mis-firing. It is a
Diamond Stealth 2000 3D card. I am still very impressed with the
speed of this card, considering the price. I'm going to buy one
with my next computer, in a few weeks. Then I'll anxiously await
XFree86 support for accelerated PEX on it. Maybe it's time to learn
more about the internals of PEX?
