If you want something easy to configure, go with a ATI rage 128. If you want excvellent graphics, go with a Voodoo 3, they are both supported.

In order of price::performance... Voodoo Banshee (some are as low as $60 US now) Matrox G200 (a bit finicky, but good ones are *really* good) nVidia TNT2 Ultra (still a bit pricey, but high-performance and well-supported) Matrox G400 (*great* all-purpose card, but AGP only) Yes, all three of them are 3D-type cards, but you have to realize that the development efforts are more mature. 3Dfx has gotten involved almost directly in the Banshee/V3 project, nVidia couldn't *possibly* be more involved in the XFree86 project if they wanted to, and the Matrox teams have provided very-high-quality work for thier respective products. Do NOT purchase... Intel Video (they're *all* crap) S3 Savage or Trio families (see Intel, though ViRGE are fine) SiS (remember; you get what you pay for) -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions -o) jpennington@atipa.com | Kansas City, MO /\\ 816-241-2641 x107 | http://www.atipa.com _\_V -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
