Aquarium seems to run fine with my Number Nine Revolution IV PCI 32MB graphics card hooked up to my SGI 1600SW (Win 98, AMD K62 450MHz, 64MB RAM, ASUS mobo).

Running at 1600X1024 X16, frame Rate (full size) is about 12fps. Smaller windowed Aquariums, or black border sizes give better frame rates. At 16bit colpur, I am getting approx 23fps (800X600), about 30 fps (640X480) or 37fps (320X240).

Using Hawk Eye control panel to double desktop does not allow the Aquarium to load.

I am using 2.14 drivers downloaded from www.nine.com.

Note: I experienced display corruption with the 'latest' performance driver (download is called 06062218.exe), but have seen no corruption with the Win 95/98 WHQL certified driver (download 06062214.exe).

Hope this is useful for any SGI 1600SW fans.

(I also have an Oxygen VX-1 1600SW which I will only be able to test on a new AGP motherboard (in perhaps one month).
