- I neither said nor suggested that the upgrade could make anything worse.
- My point is just that the capabilities of a 64 Bit DRAM graphics board
- are pretty much used up with 2 MB already due to the limited DRAM band-
- width. Thus the _advantages_ of upgrading are _relatively small_ (i.e.
- you can display screens of greater size and with more colors, but they
- are limited to unergonomic refresh rates) and _IMHO_ not worth the money.
