Since our name was mentioned here ... The WinTurbo RAMDAC has a problem with 32bpp resolutions. Basically it looks like the maximum pixel-clock you can get is roughly 100MHz. That means it flickes somewhat. Xaccel uses a 24bpp mode (3 byte pixels), which needs less bandwidth for display. In this mode a maximum of 135MHz is possible. > If you like XFree86 then an S3 968 PCI with 4MB of VRAM is not a bad > choice either from #9 or Diamond. I have a Diamond S3 968 PCI with 4 MB > of VRAM. I usually run it at 1024x768*32. If I were you I would perfer a 968 board over a mach64 board, if you want to do 32bpp. Have to be careful here not to say anything bad about any of our customers. - Thomas
