The 5434 has only been used on PCI boards so far, so I'd presume it's PCI
specific. What is it you need about the 5434? Apart from higher dot clocks (up 
to 115MHz, vs 85MHz for every earlier Cirrus card), it's not a lot different to 
the 5429, which is the top VLB model. The 5429 supports faster DRAM access with 
X than the 5434, too.


For 800x600 at 24 bit you will need 2MB RAM on the card.
