Hi Franklin,

I frankly don't know - I know under OS/2-eCs with a 4MB card, I can have 
up to about 38-pages of desktop real-estate, running 1024 x 768 at 16bpp 
color at 75Hz refresh or better- not sure whether that also pertains to 
24bpp also. Presumably only for heavy gamers using Direct-X and those 
using 32-bit colour with very large graphics projects/video-editing etc? 
The G450 would be a lot faster than anything I have here currently!
