It’s been quite a while since I used any of these (though much of the list is very familiar), but the last machine I ran with a mach64 card was faster with the vesa driver than with the ‘accelerated’ driver (as I recall, it was a 500MHz Pentium III). I suspect the real question is not whether people have machines that use these cards, but whether they do anything with them where they’d notice the lack of acceleration. Davidhome | help
