Not a typo. You see a 64bit DDR video card (like the GeForce2 MX400) has the same bandwidth as a 128bit SDR video card (like the GeForce2 MX). Of course a 128bit DDR (effectively 256bit SDR) video card is da bomb! :D but for 2d purposes, a 128bit SDR (and up..) with GOOD DRIVER SUPPORT will do very well. There are lots of cards (notably SiS) with theoretically good memory bandwidth but poor driver support, and they're crippled in Linux. --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
