I don't speak in absolutes - it' too easy to be proven wrong. Besides, I
can only go on what _he_ says about the card.

"I just kept scratching my head and wondering what the heck the "cable"
connector was for. You may not even want this card. From what I can
tell, I think it only has 8-MB of VRAM installed on it, and it's all
soldered to the card." - Allen Davis

A pure 16-bit system can only address 128 KB of memory anyway, so there has
to be some kind of kludge used for NuBus video cards. If I'm incorrect and
NuBus is 32-bit, then I should point out that AGP is also 32bit, and those
cards have 128 or even 256 MBs of memory on them now. Either way, if a 4 MB
card can exist, so can an 8 MB one - it's up to whoever designed the card.
