I have 3 pci cards, and 1 agp. The agp is the slowest. agp is probably
capable of going faster, but I just cant get it to go above 5, while my pci
does 60. The benchmark program I used was the setup program on screamer 2,
which runs some tests on the video card. Its agp x4
Linux is not good for gameing. Networks, internet, programing, all good. But
not gameing.
