Hi,

I would like to purchase a 32 bit (ie: 4Mb ++) S3 video card, but 
before I do I have a couple of questions.

1> Will having real colour get around the problem of limited or
"stolen" colours say with Netscape and other apps?

2> Has anybody had problems with real colour and X windows. I know that
I will have to startx -- -bpp32 is this correct ?

3> Any further suggestions or comments appreciated.

Cheers Grahame
