Don't buy a 2MB (MGA MYST/MOD2) upgrade for the 4 MB of your Mystique 220. It fits, but will not work as 6MB. Re: Bought these (retro) hardware today How about those ATI Rage cards with 8MB or more for PCI? They seem easily available and inexpensive.

The Yucatan Fx seem now much more retro to me. 😁 (BTW: The pineapple art on the back is great.)
