Hi all !
I'm going to buy a 17" Sony screen soon and in connection with that I also want
to buy a new graphics card. Only problem is that I'm not exactly sure which one
to buy, so I'm turning to you for advice.
I have been looking at Matrox Millennium II, but maby there are better choises ?
This is what I demand of the graphics card:
1) I have to be able to use it with Redhat Linux 5.0 without problems with
drivers etc.
2) It should be possible to use all the features the card offers with Linux
(ofcource, exept for special M$-Windoze standards)
3) Todays GUI's are very heavy, so I want to speed up my comp. and therefore
want a card which work fast. A 220 MHz Dac or above and 8-16 MB of RAM.
I don't really play much on my comp. so I don't think I need a lot of 3D, but it
would be nice as an option as I might want to do some multimedia stuff in the
future (video editing). Also I sometimes want to play some 3D-games.
I don't really know what the difference is between the RAM-types. What are the
differences between SG and W RAM ? Which one should I go for ?
What about OpenGL. What is it exactly ? Is it supported by Redhat Linux 5.0 ?
Also, is AGP supported ?
Any suggestions, comments and advice is appreciated !
Thanks for your help !
ps. I have posted this before, but it didn't seem to reach this list, so: Sorry
if you have received this posing before !
