Just make sure you are not buying ATI, ATI linux drivers suck: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problems_with_fglrx For example, my laptop hangs because one of bugs (filed date 2 years ago) and I can't use proprietary driver. There is more stable opensource driver with 3D support but not all functions are implemented yet and Google Earth doesn't work.
Agree, nVidea is a good choice. The only thing, you'll have to use proprietary drivers. If you FSF kind of person, you might want to search for a hardware with opensource drivers such as Intel i810/i915. I'm not sure if there is one on a PC market today. http://news.com.com/Intel+aims+for+open-source+graphics+advantage/2100-7344_3-6103941.html On 08/07/07, Anshul Nigham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
An nVidia 7300GS should fit your requirements, IMO. You can get it for around S$85 in Sim Lim Square.
