This brings a thought to my mind that I've been meaning to ask. The other day I was discussing with a friend, the option of upgrading his video card. The question is, what's better for dual head display? Two video cards? or One card with two outputs? I was thinking probably two video cards would be better. That was one video card isn't doing all the work. >I have two nvidia cards > now, and dont really like the hardware 3d support (takes roughly 5 > minutes to start x) 5 Minutes to start? What underlying hardware is in the machine? RAM? CPU? May not be just your video card with the slowness. > I was wondering what you guys would suggest. Should I go ati or > nvidia? What is being used out there, and is it satisfactory? etc... personally i dig the nvidia. But both companies produce solid performing cards. You might want the one with the best linux support, if there is such a creature. > > thanks werd
