Re: best Linux video card
Pere, I got an ATI 3D Pro Turbo PC2TV 8MEG (Mach64/3D RageII+) card for about $210. It is quite awesome, and lightning fast. It supports my 21 monitor quite nicely, and is well-supported under Windows as well. The TV output doesn't work under Linux, but that's not what I got it for anyway :-) Pere Camps [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi!
