The Trident XP4, Comparable to the Radeon9000 Pro in performance. Built in dual monitor support. HWT&L, pixel vertex shaders, all that good stuff that the GF4 Ti4200 has. And it's in PC Card format. Uses around 2 to 4 watts. DVI outputs and everything. Wonder if they've ever heard of PocketPCs?

I don't think that the Pocket PC PCMCIA bus is wide enough to run this card, even if drivers would be somehow available. I think the PC Card bus on the PPC is 16-bit, whereas this card is almost surely 32-bit. Am I right?

I guess that either way, you could possibly use it as a video-out card, maybe. I think that perhaps the generic VGA drivers might work, if the card can also do 16-bit as well as 32.

Completly forgot about that. So much for that thought :P
