hi jim, is 3d-performance an issue for you? i've seen comparisons (done with the 1ghz inspiron 8000) between ati and nvidia. the nvidia card is significantly faster than the ati chip (+70% 3dmark 2000, up to +161% quake3, source: c't (german computer mag) 10/2001). greetings, uLI On Fri, May 18, 2001 at 09:15:15AM -0700 or thereabouts, Jim Richardson wrote: > On Wed, May 16, 2001 at 07:35:46PM +0200, Dr. Guenter Bechly wrote: > > On Wed, May 16, 2001 at 08:28:14AM -0700, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > Has anyone had any success installing Progeny on the Dell Inspiron 8000? > > > If > > > you have, how about a nice step-by-step guide to how you did it? > > > > Well, not Progeny but Sid is running like a breeze here on I8000 (even > > the internal MiniPCI Combo Card with Ethernet AND Winmodem works). > > > > Which video card would you recommend for this laptop?

XFree 4.1 on ATI rage128
