I am using a PCI S3 Trio 64 .. with 2Mb (ie ... common garden variety $100 ones)

It took me 30 mins to get it running nicely (I knew what i was doing a bit :)

I now have it nicely tuned to 1152x900 in 16 bit colour.

Xfree 3.1.2G runs fine on it :)
(Under both Linux and FreeBSD)

Geez .. I wish they made 4mb versions of these beasts .. MMmmmm 1600x1024x16
or 1152x900x32
