[comp.windows.x] Megatek's X-cellerator card, any opinions?

We are evaluating the Megatek X-cellerator card in a Sparc station. So
far it looks pretty good. What I am looking for is any experience you
may have with this card, both good and bad.  We are evaluating it in
combination with ICS' Motif. 

I have had some dealings the their tech support, and have found them
quite helpful. 

The card we are evaluting has 10Meg on board. This memory is supposed
to be used by the X server in an intelligent way, (ie. I can preload
pixmaps, it will store lots of server resources, etc).

The installation was very straight forward, even with the fact that we
were installing ICS' motif and the Megatek X11R4 software, it was just
plug and play.
