Thank you Kingsly for the suggestion. The only reason I'm sticking with an AGP based motherboard is that I'd bought a Radeon 9800Pro AGP graphics card a year ago and plan to continue using that card for another year or two. And I think AGP based graphics cards will continue to be available for the next two years atleast.... > I saw one with on-board ATI graphics and PCIe for around Rs.5500 in > Bangalore.(think it was an MSI) Might be a good buy if you can get > someone using it to confirm on the quality of the new ATI linux > drivers. I use the ATI drivers for my Radeon 9800Pro card and those drivers are pretty good. The only negative point with the ATI drivers compared to the NVIDIA drivers is that they are not as easy to install and often require some patching to get them working with newer versions of the kernel.
