Intel graphics have been great for my desktop machines - it just works, and handles all the eye candy and effects well. I can even play some 3D games like quake 3 arena. But the intel video does run out of gas on the newest games - forget about quake 4. For games like that, you really need nvidia cards. The external driver is a bit of a hassle, but nothing else gives that kind of graphics performance on Linux. ATI cards have always been problematic, but with the recent launch of the effort to develop open source drivers for ATI cards, there is hope. Not today, not tomorrow - but maybe this year, there will be something usable for 3D applications. > Is anybody suing them ? If not, why not ? Hopefully common sense will continue to prevail. I never appreciated being criminalized for installing nvidia drivers on my own damn computer. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
