- Where do you expect to find space for the expansion card ? :) It looks
- pretty tight in the A3000 already. The expander take up 1 slot and
- the only way is to spend $100 at Jeamco.
-
- The GG2 is only running at Zorro II speed and support PC/AT bus. If you
- don't mind the lack of speed, you can pretty get any PC graphics
- accelerators out there. Stick with accelerators as they would require a
- bit less from the CPU bus for updating.

-
- Check out the Linux drivers to see if they have coe for the card you want
- to buy. Also enquire for the Cybergraphic devloper package (if it
- exists). You'll save yourself a bit of trouble and get better
- compatibility.
