Yeah I too was quite happy with the vga wonder xl24, the mach32 VRAM VLB
card, but the windows drivers were not that good when windows became the
thing to run.  Anything in dos with it's own drivers or using vesa
generalyl ran pretty good.  By the time of win98 the drivers for the
rage II's tv tuner support was dreadful and very buggy, and I stopped
buying ATI cards since I wasn't willing to put up with crap drivers.
