Forget XGS DOS and run XGS for Windows 95.  It WILL work with
your video card.

If you have been operating your real GS with a hard drive and a TWGS,
you'll be dissapointed with the performance...XGS on a 200Mhz Intel
Pentium can't hold a flame to a real decked out GS.  Bernie's another
matter (I still prefer a real GS, but I can say that Bernie is orders of
magnitude ahead of XGS) but Bernie's not available for Wintel...
