Hmm...I didn't even know that it would run on a parhelia, I don't recall
seeing that listed as a supported card.


The ATI All In Wonders should be dual output cards, and they have fast
subsystems.
The best would be to get a dual output X800 series
Radeon....but...gosh..that is going to be VERY expensive :)


What processor do you have? Won't make much sense splurging on a X800 or
newer card if you don't have the CPU to push it.

Just finished installing it and I was right: don't both getting this if
you
don't have the video oomph.

I've got two problems on my set up:

1)       My video card is a Parhelia 128.  I CAN get a decent framerate
(not
great) if I cut out most of the special effects and use a tiny screen
size
(but even at a tiny screen size enabling most special effect send the
framerate to a crawl).

2)       Number one would be okay except for the fact that I'm playing
on an
LCD panel.  When I lower the resolution the game appears in a small
corner
of the screen, no more than 5 inches across (this panel won't scale the
image - it forces it to a 1-to-1 pixel ratio).

If I cut ALL the special effects I can get a decent framerate at
1024x768
(which is still smaller than my panels native 1280x1024).

So it looks like I'm in the market for a new card. any dual DVI cards
out
there that can run this thing at 1280x1024?  ;^)
