Re: Video card choice
Thanks for your suggestion. Anyway I have installed my old S3 Trio64v/+ for now. I might just decide to wait and buy a good card in a few months. Cheers.

However, someone just gave me a 3Dfx Voodoo Banshee 16Mb :) Thus I won't have to spend a penny for now. This sure is a reasonable choice against a S3 Trio64v/+ 2Mb. I know it works under Linux as the person who gave it to me is a fellow on another Linux Forum.

I've been very happy with my Matrox G450. I initially had some major gripes with Mandrake about their support. For a while, Mandrake's releases claimed to support it when it left systems so hung that a power-down was the only option and Mandrake refused to distribute Matrox's binary-only driver even though it was freely distributable. Later on, the G450 became well-supported by XFree and was one of the first cards to offer anti-aliased font support in KDE and now even has a good 3D implementation out of the box. I've got no issues at all with TuxRacer on a fairly stock Red Hat Linux 7.2 system. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

I've heard mixed reviews on Matrox g4xx series cards. I'd say your best bet is the 3dfx card, as long as mandrake and redhat agree on it.

I am currently running an ATI Rage Fury card that uses the same r128 chipset as the ATI Rage Pro. It runs great in linux.

Re: Video card choice
i'm not aware of any of those cards not working with redhat 7.2, but some of them i haven't heard success stories for either. i have no idea what is and isn't supported in any mandrake version. personally, i like using matrox cards for linux workstations. i use a g450 (i don't take advantage of its dual-head features, tho) at home now and it's wonderful. i've used g400s and g200s and others in the past with similar success. i don't think i've tried any of the others you listed specifically first-hand with linux. i have used other tnt and tnt2 (and geforce2 and etc on nvidia's chips) with linux and they've all been fine. if mandrake specifically says something is _incompatible_, it could be wise to stay away from it whether you're using mandrake or redhat. all of those prices seem fair to me as long as they're in proper working condition. good luck. -tcl.
