Ah an easy one.

No bud you're in the same boat as the rest of us. Maybe but maybe the
absolute best system available might run at a good rate, but even then
it's doubtful. There's people with P133 out there with the same
problem. The only vidoe board that might have a shot currently would be
the Matrox Millenium, and I have my reservations on that to.

However most of us have come to enjoy the VGA mode. I feel even in this
mode it can stand up to any comers currently. Yeah it would be great to
have that next level though. I guess that's what the new boards are
for!
