i hate the mach 64.  i really do.
every one is different and needs different
memory timing settings and there's all this magic
in the driver that no one understands and
when it breaks there's nothing you can do.
i used to try sitting down and reverse engineering
the memory timing settings from working modes,
but even that stopped working.  still, they're
definitely the most common card around the labs,
and the supported ones work solidly.

for recent cards, savage4- and nvidia-based
cards seem like much better choices.

sorry for the rant.
