Hello there,

I plan to purchase a new graphics card and a pair of
stereo glasses to be used with PyMOL. My current
system: Dual Althlon 1900XP / 1GB DDR memory /
Geforce4 video card. Could anyone please give me some
suggestions/recommendations on the following
questions?

Because of the mono-performance issue, I decide to
change my graphics card to ATI Fire GL2 (or 3 / 4).
The current price I found:
GL2: $800
GL3: $1300
GL4: $1700
My first question is: how will the different cards
affect the stereo-viewing performance (at 1280x1024)?
Is it necessary to go for a high-end card (and pay
extra cash)?

For the stereo glasses, I called Stereo Graphics and
their CrystalEyes3 + Emitter boundle costs about $900.
I also called NuVision and their 60GX + Emitter cost
about $300. My second question is: what's the
difference between these two? Can the difference
justify the extra $600?

Thanks a lot!

Jiye Shi
