Question: some time in the future I want to invest in a decent video card. 
I own a cheap crappy knock-off of an ET4000 W32P which has never worked
properly, despite me specifically asking for a genuine ET4000 when I
purchase my computer.

I'd like to upgrade to a proper ET6000, if it works properly (ie, I can get
accelerated X at 800x600 and at least 16 bpp.) Can anyone tell me the
*exact* card, manufacturer, model to ask for, and the name of the
distributer who sells it?  The current card I own is a scam.
