I tried two in a U60. It sucked.
Performance sucked, compared to Creator.
(using Xinerama)

SunPCi refused to cooperate with them. PCI-faults, hard crashes.

They are advertised as 64/32 bit cards but they are not.
Try to get/find XVR-500:s instead, much better.
Even Expert 3d-lite would probably be much better.

Whatching mpg:s was impossible, creator and XVR-500 handles it fine.
/usr/openwin/demo/GL/ogl_install_check got 17 fps. (U60/450).
(and the rest of the display felt completely frozen).

Slight screen image distortion and corruption was also noted using mozilla.
(Even though I applied rev -15 of the pfb patch, note that only rev -05 is on
sunsolve at present.)

Hi,

What do you expect? The XVR-100 is the sucessor of the PGX64.

HTH,
