Naveen, We've had great results with the FireGL series, and the OpenGL performance of the FireGL X1 is excellent (http://www.spec.org/gpc/opc.data/vp7/summary.html).
However, the trick with these cards is to allow ATI's binary driver compatibility to dictate your choice of Linux distribution and version. This is fine for new dedicated 3D workstations (read SGI replacements), but not so good for existing linux setups. Stereo support is trouble-free. Warren PS. These card's aren't cheap -- they're not designed for gamers. -- mailto:war...@sunesis.com Warren L. DeLano, Ph.D. Informatics Manager Sunesis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 341 Oyster Point Blvd. S.
