@xeron:

Agreed.

I went from 020-14 to 040-25 (great improvement) to 040-40 (noticeable) and then from AGA to Voodoo3. THEN I saw what it was all about. Wow. Workbench in 1600x1200 24bit on a 68040 is actually useable. Web browser suddenly looked ok. Images could be viewed in multiview and still look EXCELLENT. Etc ad nauseam.

You're forgetting that all the good chips out there are PCI to whatever, so you would need a Zorro to PCI PLD, and last time I checked this was called a Mediator.

@Erwin-K:

Heh, I'm at work, posting from Opera in Debian Linux, I use OpenOffice for work documents, and all my software/hardware so far has been created with Linux programs.

Just swapped my 80G harddrive for a 40G that doesn't make as much noise, haven't gotten around to reinstalling XP yet. I won't bother until I find some cool game that doesn't run under Linux again (only thing I've used XP for the last year is games). Noone cares what I use, as long as I do the WORK I should. Isn't that great? ;-)
