Some of them will... it depends... there are 4 different types of
cg6's:
GX
GX+
TurboGX
TurboGX+
The Turbo's run at a higher clockrate than the non-turbo's...
The +'s have 4MB of video memory, why the non+'s have 1MB.
The GX is only capable of 1152x900 ...
The TurboGX can do 1152x900 and 1024x768...
The GX+ can do 1280x1024, 1152x900 and 1024x768...
The TurboGX+ can do 1600x1280, 1280x1024, 1152x900 and 1024x768...
These can be set in the PROM... see the Frame Buffer FAQ at
http://www.sunhelp.org/faq/FrameBuffer.html ...
Also keep in mind that with certain resolutions (I think everything
except 1600x1280 on the TurboGX+), the GX+ and TurboGX+ can both do
double-buffering, which definitely helps their performance...
