I don't know what Mach64 is.  The computer is a plain U5 with 512K ram. The only card plugged in is a USB card.  Should I remove the USB card?
Best regards,

There were very few options for the old sun ultra5. It was to be a sun
experiment into low cost PC-like dirt cheap slapped together low-end
workstations. So the graphics options were bottom dollar. The ultra10
had the benefit of actual OpenGL ready hardware but that is another
story.

So the ultra5 would ship with a 3D RAGE II M64 video graphics ability.
However you may also have the bone stock "SunVideo Plus" thing which I
can not recall what it was. There was also a thing called the pgx32 and
the pgx64.

You would need to boot the machine to the firmware ok prompt and look at
the device list to know for sure what you really have there.
