Interesting summary, as I may shortly be in the market to replace my 2MB Mach32 card. Was surprised nobody quoted /usr/ports/benchmarks/xengine results. It may not be much of a benchmark but its something more than seat of the pants. I get between 750 and 1000 (peak) RPM, usually in the 800's with a 2MB PCI Mach32, 1024x768 16bpp with exmh also open. 64MB PPro-200/512k. About 1100 RPM on an 800x600 16bpp P-133 Mach64 machine at work. Both are running 2.2.5-stable and XFree86 3.3.1. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
