- Nope, we are talking about the Trident board. Trident has written many
- drivers in the past that require 1024kb of video memory, even though
- 800x600x256 can fit in 512kb. 800x600x256 drivers for 512kb cards will
- probably roll out later. This is beta stuff, after all.
-
- (In the past Trident drivers for 800x600x256 were faster with 1024kb, and
- the 512kb drivers were slower. I think Trident is doing some nifty
- things with the video memory bank addressing)

- :This Trident 32bit drive sounds interesting; I'll give it a try on my ATI
- :and see what happens.
