Just as a note.....

I now have 3 PCI Radeon cards (Radeon 32SDR PCI) courtesy of ATI.  
My main goals with these initially are to get DRI working on them
on x86, and possibly on ia64 (DRI on PCI Radeon already works on
Alpha).  After that, my Alpha box is getting one of them, and
anything is game.  ;o)
