I've got a computer with Trio64 graphics card that I really would like to keep in this PC. The problem is, it's not a Trio64V+, so it lacks video features - no scalling and no overlays, fullscreen video is way to slow. It has a Vesa Feature Connector, so maybe there is a standalone card accelerating just the video operations? I've found MPEG-1 cards, but this PC handles MPEG-1 in software very well (it's Pentium 133), and I want samothing that would work with any format. Basically a card that does scalling, color space conversion and sends the pixel out via the feature connector.

This came installed alongside a Riva 128 in my Dell XPS D333 which shipped with a DVD-ROM so apparently this accelerates DVD Playback. It is connected internally via the feature connector.
