    i've got one of these at home with the full 2GB of memory. they're great for
    doing server side stuff.
    the Creator 3D is fine, albeit a little lacking compared to contemorary
    video cards on WinTel boxes,
    and maybe the new Sun workstations.

    one thing to bear in mind is that the U2 is based upon the older SBus
    archiecture, and does not support PCI
    cards.
