I should have no problem using a Ati-Xpert video card with Plan 9. Should I
get PCI or AGP?
The Ati Mach64 is 2mb video card?

I had another Mach64 video card - ATI 3D Charger on AGP with 8 MB RAM.
But with this card I had problems - it produced some flickers on screen.
Later I have tryed another ATI 3D Charger on AGP with 4 MB RAM.
The screen looks better but some noise remain. I dodn't know why...
But autors say the ATI cards have the best support.(?)

I have gotten good results from the Xpert-98 (3D RAGE PRO version).
Xpert-128 (RAGE-128) however did not work right last time I tried it.

MACH64 denotes a family of chips, which can be used with various
amounts of memory (the one I used to have was 4MB).
