Is there any software that works with a gfx cards? Would love a paint program and a office suite that uses the gfx card :)

TVPaint is awesome and NewTek released a free version. You can do a lot with TVPaint and ImageFX 4 as far as image manipulation on a gfx card. They both work in 32 bit on my P96 Mediator Voodoo 4. All Photogenics versions are fun for playing around with but have bugs or are too slow for me to use for serious work. I also use PPaint for 256 color and less web images (gif and png).

The most advanced word processors are WordWorth 7 and FinalWriter. Pagestream is DTP but more advanced if you have the CPU speed and more time to learn the interface. TurboCalc is the most advanced spread sheet although Ignition may be usable enough by now. ProCalc and FinalCalc are also usable but dated. The best database depends as there are different types. SBase 4 is probably the most powerful but heavy weight. Twist and Microfiche Filer Plus have innovative concepts but are still general purpose and easy to use. I'm sure other people have their favorites. I believe everything mentioned above will work on at least Workbench with a gfx board.
