..the little bit of research I did in this before buying a 128bit AGP Sapphire Radeon 9250, led me to believe I can run more of these together on DRI code, both on the same box, and on a cluster. ..these are around US$50, the PCI version is a bit more expensive. Keep in mind there is also 64 bit versions of both, and versions with 64MB vram, any box with an agp slot can handle 128bit, for pci you probably want universal 32bit pci, 64MB will probably work fine, I went for 128MB and see 85MB texture memory free, it wasn't much cheaper. ..the only other real alternative, is Nvidea, especially for high end cards, ATI appears to me to drag their feet, Radeon 9250 is their most recent DRI supported card, everything newer is closed source only, and lagging behind their Wintendo drivers, last time I chked (Dec. 2004). -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry... Scenarios always come in sets of three: best case, worst case, and just in case. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
