RE: Multia video cards

["Champigny, Michael" <Michael Champigny compaq com>]

I've had a #9 Motion 771 FX card in my Multia since 1994.
It's S3 based and will give you 16 and 24 bit video depths
and is fairly fast and very stable. No fuss at all...just
plug it in (you'll have a couple mm of room left) and 
your good to go. The one caveat when installing RH6.x is
that you need to shut the TGA off when booting. Add this 
flag:

video=tga:off

I've seen messages in the past about video cards on the multia.. but
these either seemed to go the high-performance route (Matrox cards) or
the low-end route: S3 Virge .. which is fine -- as it turns out, I'm
looking for a low-end card; I just need to be able to push 16 bit (or
higher) video on my Multia. 

So the S3V chipset will certainly fit the bill .. but what about space
considerations? What cards _fit_ in the Multia? Does anyone know of a
name-brand card (generics would be nice, but how do I locate the exact
model card?) that fits the Multia?

Anyone know if a Diamond Stealth 3D 2k card will fit in there?
