Re: [PLUG] OT: Video Card Choice

[Paul <paul@dpagin.net>]

I decided on a nVidia GeForce2 Ti 64MB DDR AGP card over the Radeon 7500.

But, I'm actually going to get a used GeForce2 GTS Pro 64MB DDR from my 
brother-in-law.  He is going to use my money to offset the cost of a 
GeForce4 Ti 4200 (on a Win98SE PC).

From what I hear, the Radeon 7500 performs like the GeForce2 Pro.

In another PC I installed a Radeon VE (same save the 7000) under Red Hat 
7.2.  I had to comment out the DRI module to get it to work properly. 
In yet another PC with a GeForce2 GTS Pro, I installed Red Hat 7.1 
without a problem.  That tells me that Red Hat has better support for 
the GeForce2 cards compared to the Radeon cards.  (My ATI Rage Fury had 
always worked well.)
