- Could you run xbench so we can have an approximate idea of how fast
- your server and card is?

- Also at least on the Jan 93 'Byte benchmark, the 34020 cards were
- pushing 3 bytes per pixel and on their favor is a 512 byte command
- queue.

- Also, I would hope that a $2000 graphics card to be fast is 10 times
- more expensive that the Actix's graphic card or $200 more than what
- my entire 486/33Mhz system cost. I am not flaming here just gently
- want to point out the scales of economics here :-)
