There is a company called Actix that has a board called the Graphics 
ENGINE 32...Most recent issue of Byte magazine had it rated fastest on 
bltblk move and a second test (I cant remember what it was) and third, 
behind two $1000+ boards, on the Line drawing test.  It does 24bit color
at 640x480, 16 bit color at 800x600, 8bit color at 1024x768, at 4bit color
at 1280x1024.  And the board lists for $199!!!  Check it out...
