Hello,

I am going to build a PC which I want to run Plan 9. On my other PC's at
home I have problems with the video cards.

The consensus seems to be here that ATI Xpert 98 is supported well, so
that looks like a buy. I know there is an Xpert 98 AGP/8Mb.

I have a few questions/does someone here have knowledge of:
  - does anyone have (any) supported (I mean working) card with 16Mb or
32 Mb? I'd like to get more than 8Mb
  - is the supported ATI Xpert 98 the AGP version? (well there may not
be a PCI version...)
  
Thanks, Milan
