That's what I would expect. Going from 2mg of VRAM to 32mg alone seems as if it should pay some dividends. If not, why would anyone add such a card? And I've seen similar systems using ATI Rage128 cards that were dramatically faster than what I'm observing, and I'm under the impression that, while slightly slower than the original Radeon card, the Radeon 7000 is significantly faster than the Rage128.
