You can get a PGX32 to upgrade from the built-in PGX8; it sucks, but its
at least 24bit.  If you can find an Ultra10 case and then buy the PCI riser
card for it from Sun ($50 or so), you can put a Creator in it.  The U5 has
the *slot* for the Creator, it just wont work with the case.

The U5 and U10 motherboards are identical.
