There's a nice white RedHat one, but I think you'd be swimming in it.

Yours for only about $250 retail, says the West. With the SGRAM (not
SDRAM), Realtime Distribution (http://realtime.smileys.net/) wholesale
them for about $300.

The next generation, so they say, will do 336 million texels/second (at
1024x768, 427 completely redrawn frames full of textures per second,
hold onto your hat!).

I have lots of those, most of them VLB. If you can stand VLB, I can even
give you a 2MB piece to replace your 1MB. It's a pity that VLB cards
don't multi-head, otherwise you could collect a lot of screens and have
a decent composite resolution (say, 4096x3072x8, given 16 screens... and
a stack of motherboards to plug the cards into...).

I also have a 1MB PCI card which appears to also do PAL video, which
Nimrod actually threw away and replaced, rather than cleaning the dust
off!

high explosives.  Now if I can only figure out how to send them via
