Ed, unless I'm wrong, those boards derive most of their speed from display
lists, not necessarily graphics speed. Imagine the Nth Engine with its
virtual window of 32k x 32k trying to load Aflix scenes…. that much
video takes a while to load. I suspect that is why you won't see those
special cards trying to work with Aflix.
But, let's ask Lansing. Sometimes I think he knows what Nth will do before
they know it themselves!
