I have Geminus which is supposed to speed up some of the graphics
handling. But I also have an early Iyonix with a presumably equally
early video card and I have heard that these old cards do not have
enough memory to give full advantage to Geminus. So there may be a
chance that upgrading the card will allow Geminus to accelerate the
graphics at full speed. But I don't know that Geminus works with the
new card; so I've asked a few questions about this on the Geminus
support forum and await an answer.
