For anyone on list, be careful of the "cheapies" as they use Digital

I think the main concern would be the type of memory card you'll be using, as that

As for what Telecom are charging for national traffic, I'd be interested to

I suppose you could come but there probably wouldn't be much point.
We just want to discuss what is going to be offered by the campus IT

are charging like "wounded bulls" for national traffic.

Do ATI's drivers support S3TC hardware texture compression yet? I knew
once upon a time that people wanting a high-end card to support playing
Unreal tournament 2003 in linux were forced to use NVidia cards because
ATI's drivers didn't support S3TC (nVidia's drivers do, UT2003 needs S3TC

Hello Chris
I use an ATI Radeon 9700 PRO graphics card in my system and it works

that ATI does support S3TC - in windows at least.
I still can't get my system to load it into linux yet - I will have
