A friend of mine bought the ATI Mach64 w/4MB with his Pentium (PIC). Their
drivers have LOTS of problems and their tech support was marginal. He
bought the Matrox which he loves, but it is BUTT SLOW compared to my
Stealth64 under both Windows and DOS. According to Byte, PC and Publish,
the Stealth64 is the fastest board out overall. There's a new one based on
the S3 chip with *MB VRAM, but I guess I'll live with the 4MB. The
Stealth64 runs Doom as fast as you'd want, and is great under Windows, and
is a lot cheaper than Matrox.
