I have to respectfully disagree with this point. He's going from 2 or 4 megs of vram to 32 megs, I'm sure he would see an acceleration in 2D screen redraws if the card was functioning properly. I notice a major difference running the card in my 8600, in both the finder and Photoshop. Chris -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
