If you plan to use Linux or 386BSD with Xfree386 (the free X-windows
package) you will have a hard time getting drivers for any Diamond products,
as they use proprietary code which isn't available to the developers of
Xfree386.  You will get better performance at a comparable price from one of
the cards based on the new S3 86c801 chip, like the Actix GraphicsEngine
32.  My Actix card is blazingly fast with Windows and DOS and the benchmarks
I've seen for unix/X are comparable to a SUN Sparc II.
