Oops, I forgot to answer this question. Yeah, with the matrox meteor and PCI to PCI to a video frame buffer such an S3 968 I routinely get about 37MBs 8) I would love to connect two matrox meteors cards and have them blast the screen at full speed to see what happens. If I am not mistaken Jim Lowe has done this... The matrox meteor driver has code to support this feature look for METEOR_TEST_VIDEO and I modify "tv" to support this mode. My system is a P100 and a Triton I ASUS motherboard. Enjoy, Amancio
