Thank you Kiran; Yes, Radeon 9700 seems to be the fastets card but probably is apropriate for image-professional and the support under linux might still be defficient. Perhaps for me could be good an intermediate Nvidia; I think 64Mb Ram could be enought form me; I could buy a better and expensive card, but I would never use most of the last characteristic, so why to pay more for utilities I will never use?.
