Being the proud winner of a brand new used DS10L, I must now plan how
to integrate this into my hobbyist data centre.

One option is to replace my 3100-30. This means that I would need a
graphics card for the DS10L.

Does anyone have comments on the cards available on Island ?

http://www.islandco.com/graphics.html

is the Penmedia at $100 really the same as a Elsa Gloria card at $299 ?

I take at all those cards are 24 bit colour capable at 1280*1024 ?

What difference does the on board memory make ? Clearly, a card that has
8mb cannot fully contain a 24 bit 1280*1024 screen, so it much use real
RAM in the machine, right ? What is that 8mb used for ?

3.9MB is enough to hold 1280*1024*3 (24 bits = 3 bytes).
