Damn. I'm going to have to move fast and buy one *before* they put
that damn chip in. Curse you Dell, for forcing my hand like this!
Pretty much every machine I have contact with these days has ATI
graphics. Dell laptops, my home box, even the goddamn Suns. If only
the XFree86 guys would get DRI working for the Mach64.
