started with S3 trio 3D, now i have a S3 Virge /dx, both 4 meg.
the Virge is better than the trio 3D.
i may have to do like you say but first i'm going to try to make this work.
i got better colors and a bigger screen from my old S3 trio 64 -2 meg card

i already did that once
You might even put on an incensed look
did that
and
tell them what a piece of junk it was and how you'll only use Matrox from

that's next on the list if this won't work
:-) What card did you buy?
