I run Redhat 6.1 and KDE out of the box on a
Celeron 333 with 64 MB of ram and now a Voodoo 3 3000,
I did run it on a 2 MB ATI Mach 64, but i never did
experience that problem even in 1024x768 (yes i did run
it on a 2MB Video Card). I have one of those PC Chip
motherboards too but i don't use the onboard Video.
