Well on the linux platform I presume, for 3D: In my experience none of the 3D cards are any good on xorg. I am running FC3 and I have 6 P4s ranging from 2.4 ht to 3.2 prescot I also have two laptops both with radeon 9600 onboard that do support 3D despite ATi Support trying to convince me otherwise. I can load and configure the nvidia driver for the PCs running a mix of nvidias cards. The 3D is really pathetic and hacks alot. My mobility radeon is a no go in xorg. I have switched to xfree and the performance is perfect UT2004 intense scenes are smooth on ATI and Nvidia. Xorg is well known for its inability to be configured succesfully by ametures like me. (just google for stuff on configuring it and see how many people struggle and get no solutions) If your are looking for 3D then switch to XFree which also works better with cedega. I am running UT2004, Q3 arena , N4Speed underground, Start craft, Black and White, Doom3, Half Life with addons, and a couple more. My younger sister is running the Sims 2 with addons as well and a couple kiddy games. If you don't want games and don't need 3D then just about any card will do. If you need a driver and can't compile or install one then use the vesa or vesafb driver. -- -- Chadley Wilson Redhat Certified Technician Cert Number: 603004708291270 Pinnacle Micro Manufacturers of Proline Computers Proudly South African ISO9001:2000 Certified Production Line ======================================= LINUX - becuase I can do it my way. ========================================
