Actaully when I'm refering to accelerated boards, I DO mean boards based on S3, ATI MACH 8/32, WD 90C31, Weitek P9000, IIT AXGA, 34010/20, 8514, XGA, DELL DGX…. you get the idea. Any of these technologies that provided some form of hardware graphics operations will help performance in the display modules IF the driver implements the extendeded capabilities. The slowest card for display modules is a 256 color VGA, due to the amount of data fired over the bus just to do things like viewport clearing.
