In other words, your >16-bit VGA will act like an 8-bit VGA. That is absolutely horrid. So all my Windows applications means that while this here card is installed, I will be moving at HALF SPEED?! This doesn't seem very realistically cool, know what I mean? Is there a way around this? I can't afford that kind of io bottleneck (33mhz w/8MB going through display at 8-bits is not very fun).....any info to circumvent said atrocity would be appreciated. Brian
