I've got an 8MB Millennium II running with a patched version of Accelerated X 3.1. It works okay, but there are some screen artifacts, and sometimes various fonts don't look quite right. My guess is that Accelerated X 4.1 would be better, but I haven't tried it out yet. (I've got the CD, just haven't gotten around to installing it.) Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@plutotech.com
