Title: Video Card Recommendation????
Post by: edwardsen35 on 31 December 2002, 07:32

My motherboard has integrated video.  The problem with this is that it is a SiS650 video card which isn't supported by Linux and it uses 16 mb of my ram.  Therefore I want to buy a video card.  Does anybody have any recommendations for a decent video card??

Title: Video Card Recommendation????

Any Nvidia GeForce (and up) based card, or any ATI Radeon card with a model number greater than 7200.

I recommend you get a card with at least 64 MB of RAM.

I am slightly leaning towards ATI cards, b/c they are faster (at the moment), their tech support is awesome, and they tend to be pretty cheap (try Newegg.com). But, Nvidia fully supports linux in their drivers, so that's something to think about.
