        ***The answer is yes.****

The question that we trying to answer is how much faster is XS3 is
going to be over the Sun workstations.

Thomas Roell's X server for the S3 928 (ISA card) generates 136k stones.
So this gives a good clue of at least how fast we can be.

It will not suprise me to hear in the near future:
is the latest version of the sun workstation faster than the XS3?

Enjoy,
        Amancio

P.S: someone send me e-mail asking me for a fast S3 card not blazingly fast but
just as fast as a sun :-)
