I'm upgrading my BP6 system and I need some video card recommendations. I
have a PB6 with dual Celeron300A/450 CPUs. I multi boot with DOS/Win3.1 ,
Win98SE, and Linux (MD 7.0, but I plan a reinstall of MD 8.0). I don't
care about game performance, but I do need some 3D acceleration and, I'd
like to be able to run FlightGear (Which probably equates to game
performance.). I'm more interested in good 2D performance, including video
playback. I also want a TV tuner, and possibly video capture, TV out, LCD
display, and dual monitor support.
I was considering a G400 and a separate TV card, however I now have slot 1
filled, and I don't know where I'd put a separate TV card. There is a
newer G450 card that has an output for an LCD panel. I don't have an LCD
panel yet, but I will be buying a new monitor of some type. Lately, I've
been looking at the ATI Radeon All in Wonder. It is expensive, but it
seems at have all the useful features. Are the Linux drivers for this card
well developed, or expected to be? I'd appreciate some discussion or
recommendations. In particular for the BP6, what are the power
requirements, for the various alternatives? I only have a 300W PS. I do
have the older good MB volatage converter.
