Boris, Not being very into graphics cards, I would recommend some ATI brand card, since they have open 3D drivers, which will be better for you long term. I would avoid NVidia since they have closed 3D drivers. Performance to day is not as important as being able to use your card in 2 years when NVidia decides to stop forward porting their fast (but proprietary) crap. > My concern is the 1920x1200 resolution.=20 Any modern graphics card should be able to drive that LCD panel. Historically the main reason you would have problems doing a high resolution setting is if the video card didn't have enough memory. You need about 9 Megs of video memory to do 32 bit color on that, and I doubt you can find any new video cards for sale with as little=20 memory as that. > Can it be done from linux (redhat)?=20 Yes... you may have some initial driver problems depending on which video card you pick, but nothing is special about redhat vs other distributions. > Should I look for card with digital RGB (DVI) or (default) analog RGB > (HD15) outputs? I would recommend a DVI based card since your panel can do it. If you intend to hook other monitors without DVI upto this new card later, then don't. --=20 GPG key: http://simons-clan.com/~msimons/gpg/msimons.asc Fingerprint: 524D A726 77CB 62C9 4D56 8109 E10C 249F B7FA ACBE --J5MfuwkIyy7RmF4Q Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE+1mdv4Qwkn7f6rL4RAuncAJ4vlKIHLxkX72D9cZbcKiRSutdlfQCghkB2 /WTVS6d1U2TKs5u3Wav0iOw= =rDIy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --J5MfuwkIyy7RmF4Q-- _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
