GX260 Radeon 7500s work just fine for people who only need their puters for getting work done and thus no need for 3DFX bling and closed source drivers. They do work better than 845G video, so I use them in other systems by pulling them from the Dells during refurb.
The need for bling is no longer limited to fancy desktop effects. Try using google map without it. I use it in my work. I am also starting to come across data viewing apps that are using libraries that require accelerated graphics. Of course, this is not unexpected. It has always been said the the bling is not the point. The point it to make all software take better advantage of the graphics hardware. That is starting. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
