The Trident 3dimage card caused me so much grief when I first started using Linux, I find it hard to look on them favourably (even under Windows, I had to replace it, as in many games it was a question of moving the mouse then waiting expectantly for the pointer to move). I agree that it's not necessary to buy state-of-the-art video cards though, unless you're rendering 3D animation or are a Quake freak for whom every frameset counts. A GeForce 2 with a decent amount of onboard RAM is fine for all reasonable purposes - get a GeForce 4 when the GeForce 5 comes out!On Sun, 29 Dec 2002 22:01:27 +0000 Anne Wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:That sounds more than enough for what I need.Trident is among several producers of adequate video chips. Too often these chips, because they are nearly if not exclusively found on low end systems, are equated with being 'bad'. Many think only in terms of speed and power, but you don't need a GeForce4 or a Radeon 9700 to to use a wordprocessor, surf the net, or keep up with your email. Hell there are even many 3d games that run well enough on them to cause you to waste time and dawdle (I, myself, am a firm believer and practitioner of procrastination.)
