For linux Radeon's are prefered. the new radeon 9250 are perfect matches i think, i would not invest in more expensive cards. The Voodoo, well, it was never all so well supported on powerpc, and X has trouble driving them. > so they have weezled their way out of providing proper > agp support. making my hard earned (ok thats debatable, > i work in IT) cash less likely to transfer to their accounts Bah. What do you expect ? Do you know of any powerpc northbridge manufacturer apart from apple that deals with AGP ? There was Mai, whose articia S we used in the pegasos 1, which supposed had upto 2x agp, but since it had trouble with the DMA, and was dead-slow anyway, it was not really usefull, and apart from that Mai didn't provide real specs to write the agp-gart stuff, and even pci-mode only froze the box. Our next version will probably be based from one of the Freescale e600 core based chips, and will have dual pci-express on chip, one for standard stuff, and the other for graphics, so there you will have a real 3D solution. > i can probably get a second hand g4 1ghz for cheaper > anyway... *shrug* Probably.
