Re: [PLUG] Video cards with 3D Hardware acceleration in X

A friend wants to add a better video card to her PII-400 machine.
I'm not sure how worthwhile it is for a machine that old, but it's what
she wants. The machine does not have an AGP slot. She has an
interest in linux and so ideally the card would have 3D hardware
acceleration under linux. It should be a 32 or 64MB card.


32MB is plenty, but not having an AGP slot is bad news when it comes to speed.

I'm pleased with my GeForce2 GTX even though I have to load a few RPM's for acceleration. It actually works better under Linux than it does under WinXP.
