Im not being critical. Its just clever product specs. Givent that the agp slot is a pci slot, would it be possible to have 2x of the said agp slots, thus allowing for two agp video cards. There arent any really bleeding edge games for linuxppc, i wouldnt doubt that well see binaries soon. Unreal Tournament has always been great to linux, and quake has usually as well.
