com 2 is the only thing on IRQ 3in my machine......... 
and besides... if i remember my default com port/irq stuff right.... com 
4 conflicts with com 1 if u don't change an IRQ not with com2......

yes........ it works absolutly beutifully at any thing my monitor can 
handle (up to 1280x1024)..... at 32bpp :) ..... and is accellerated 
within the 3.3.3 SVGA server......   supposedly will do 1920x1200@16.7 
mil. colours :) (tis a 16 meg card...).... but i don't have access to 
that nice of a monitor :) ..... it's fast.... and hasn't crashed on 
me..... so ya know :)
