I would suggest either the ATI Rage 128 or a Radeon. The best card out there for the s900 is a Radeon w/32MB vram. The 7000 model is widely available for $100-120 new. The Rage 128 has 16MB and is the next best thing. You can prob find this used for around half the cost. With X being as resource hungry as it is, you will see a dramatic gain in "snapiness". i highly recommend either, and i've used them both with great results in any slot in my s900. due to the pci architecture, the best slot is one of the first two for video. -charles -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> --------------------------------------------------------------- >The Think Different Store http://www.ThinkDifferentStore.com ---------------------------------------------------------------
