Re: [PLUG] Inexpensive PCI OpenGL video adapter?
|
PCI cards are somewhat scarce these days, and no one I know of is developing
any new ones. I suggest a Matrox G200 (which comes either PCI or AGP), which
you might find online (most places are perpetually out of stock) or directly
from Matrox.com itself for about $100. You can check out the card's specs
there to see if they will do the job for you.
Regards,
Tom

A bus station is where a bus stops.
