I have the ATI Ultra Pro local bus with 2MB VRAM, and I am perfectly happy with |
|
the Windows drivers (currently using version 59). It does everything you |
|
mention below, but also does 1024x768x16bpp true color. As a matter of |
|
fact it also supports high refresh 1280x1024 at 256 colors. The performance |
|
is great. |

Supposedly the new Matrox Ultra-something-or-other actually does some |
|
3d rendering (at least has some hardware support for Z). Good luck in |
|
your search. |
