Was looking at video cards at MemEx today. The guy was all impressed with the newer ATI cards. They have one that comes with liquid cooling that he claims is faster than two nvidia cards set up with SLI. If I was a serious gamer, I'd probably care, but I only do occasional tasks that need 3d acceleration. For me at least, I won't buy anything ATI produces (or that uses ATI chipsets) until I hear/know they have stable acceleration support for Linux. Nope, didn't buy today - went for the 320 GB drive instead and installed Kubuntu on it. I like the way it just automagically detected my Gentoo install and set up a Grub entry for it. Now I can migrate over my data without worrying about missing something. Don't know what I'm going to do with 800+ GB of space though.. :) _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
