I have had best experiences with Cirrus Logic cards. They are often thought to
be underdogs, but are painless to configure and fast. My no-name 5424 1MB card
squeezed 50K xstones on a 486DX50, and my new PCI no-name 5434 based card does
something like 170K xstones on a Cyrix 5x86/120.

Only S3-based cards are capable of such performance in XFree.

FYI, I grabbed a 5434 PCI VGA 1MB from Bozzo Brown @ $107 incl. COD.
