It seems that screamer 2 has S3-Virge support.
When I run setup from dos it reports 28Mb for SVGA speed
when I run S3spdup. /load vesa vga, it reports 60 MB for SVGA speed.
It's a lot faster.
why does it say so on the packaging.

I'm confused (yeah..it doesn't take much) but I always though MB meant
megabyte (a measure of disk size).  Perhaps you mean M? (? meaning
something else...megahertz?...mips?).

Thats funny - I'm getting 72MB with a matrox mystique...

I'm still at work, just bought the game,and my work P60 with 1mb
Trident9440 gets a vid speed of svga 7MB.  If my home P133 with
2mb s3Virge can crack 60MB, I'm going home NOW!  It also sucks
with the keyboard, so I can't wait to try my wheel with it :)  
First impressions are that it makes RAC RALLY look a bit sad
and useless.

BTW - s3spdup will improve the perfomance of *any* s3 based card.
It doesn't have to be Virge.  Although I have a Virge as well, and
have found it faster than a standard Trio64V+ in non-3d accelerated
games.  It's a good *budget* 3d card - not the same performance as
Rendition, but much cheaper - esp. if you buy a 3rd party card that
just uses the s3d chip and 2-4mb of EDO.  Best of all, it kicks
with non-3d accelerated games, so it's a good all round card.
