[s-x86] Re: Xsun G400 speed
Yes, the Sun's drivers always got behind the Xi's ones, but it's a
shame that my old Diamond Stealth 3D 3000 showed me better visual
results than my brand new G400 - Supermicro P6DLS dual PII 300, 256MB
RAM, UW SCSI disks - close to yours isn't it? :-). Everything is worse,
>from fast typing to window redrawing. Well, I can buy Xi's drivers, but
I don't think Sun is doing a great favor to us just supporting this
card - by the way are we doing a great favor to Sun in using their
product or Sun is favouring the Xi's company to get more profits on
their licensed code?
