Hi Mate,
if you don't want to do Basic I'd-Stuff - take a Matrox card.
You can even get with 2 and up to 4 DVI Connectors. And for 2D - the
XFree-Drivers work just fine. For 3D - you need to take closed source drivers
- as for ATV/Nvidia.
One advantage of the Matrox cards - they have much better Ramdac's - e.g. the
Image quality is way better than on the others (I know what I'm talking about
- I have all 3 Type of cards here...).
Cheers
Joerg
