This server is my desktop at home and the Millenium only has 2 Mbyte of 
memory and X11 has some strong opinions on how many bits of colour and how
much resolution he will provide me with that setup...  I could scarf the 
Oxygen out of the 4100 here at work - that guy IS a server and he doesn't 
need that much video card.  Alas, I find that managers grow restless when
I knock down the servers (much less steal their video cards).

If I put in an Oxygen I can run VMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
