This is probably a stupid question, but I have to know from the experts.
Does using an ISA video card on a server, hurt its performance as a server
(the monitor is ONLY used for text mode)??
I want to pull the matrox millenium my server came with in order to use a
Trident 9000 ISA card in order to free up a PCI slot for a 10/100 net
card.
I tried it briefly and noticed the memory check on boot going about 10
times slower than it was supposed to so i quit there and stopped. Anyone
have this happen?
The machine is redhat 5.1+all errata, Kernel 2.0.35, Dual PPro200, DPT
Adaptec 2940UW, bios 1.23 (Scsi0), 2144UW scsi (scsi1) D-link dfe-500tx,
and an NE-2K isa clone. ITs been stable as a rock.
