It's only a rumour at this time, but Orchid Outrageous 3D can support
upto 12 MB.. 4 MB framebuffer, 4 MB texture and 4 MB texel fx..

On the basis of this factor alone, you can get a pretty solid gain
in performance if the software is texture heavy.

I was about to buy a Righteous 3D, when all this noise about Pure3D
started. When I finally made up my mind to wait a few more weeks,
then this Voodoo2 thing crept up. Now I am waiting again. (Though I don't
mind waiting. That is until Quake 2 and Red Baron 2/EF2000 2 are not 
released)
