Greetings all, I ask this question here because fgfs is the single most graphics-intensive program on my system, so I may as well ask people in the same situation.
I have only just added a 1GB stick of RAM to the 512 already present, after discovering that 0.9.10 made the leap over 0.9.9 of running choppily at best in an engined aircraft and roughly for a glider, after 0.9.9 ran basically okay everywhere. This extra RAM has solved that problem for the time being, making swap space unnecessary, even if I can't get my motherboard to recognise both DDR400 sticks at the same time (it's supposed to be possible, it says so in the manual), but it's never enough, is it? So I need a new graphics card. I have: Debian testing, with current-release X.org and all the DRI goodness that this implies. Athlon 2600+, 32 bit 1-1.5GB RAM, depending on if I can get them working together properly. Currently, an Nvidia GeForce 2 MX400, 128MB RAM I've had bad experiences with ATI drivers in the past, both DRI and FGLRX, but that was three years ago and I think the problem may have been lingering traces of NVidia GL libraries that weren't properly uninstalled. I would prefer to support ATI and DRI, but I don't really care. I just have no idea what the card classifications mean anymore, and how to compare between brands. So my question is: What's the current equivalent of an MX400, from NVidia or ATI, and what's one step up? I'm not really in a position to go much over about $150 Australian, call it $115US or 90Euro at current rates, but I've got no problems trawling eBay for shrink-wrapped bargains.
