I have a Diamond S3 968 with 4 MB of VRAM it is pretty fast for PCI to PCI transfer. Sorry I forgot the Diamond Model. I typically run at 1024x768 32bits. I would investigate the new S3 VirgeX thats the one with VRAM which is supposed to be faster than the S3 968 and you can take advantage of its 3d capabilities in Win95 .
