I didn't try out the ATI 8514/Ultra, but many different other 8514 clones.
And the result was that a normal board outperformed all these highend
boards with a 32MHz 34020. Note that this test didn't include CAD or other
applications where the 34020 could get to it's highest performance. All I
tested was the performance for GUI applications (MS Windows, X Windows)
