- YES!!!!! I just replaced my Trident 8900 with 1MB with a Diamond
- Stealth VRAM, and the differences in speed and clarity are just
- incredible. Even the text screen redraws are faster! Windows runs so
- much faster, it's wonderful. I consider the money well spent.

- P.S. I have 8MB on my computer, too, not that it really matters in
- this case.
