I'm also using "a cheap S3 Savage4 based AGP card" and it works for just south of fine. Note however that I'm not a gamer and all the graphics I do is GIMP (the default potato version). I use the SVGA server for it (available on the install CD). No crashes thus far here. On Tue, 17 Oct 2000, Chris

I like 3dfx, fairly good performance, they provide info, opensource drivers etc... the new ones are a bit too expensive though (up to $300), the older models (voodoo 2) are about $100 (still good performance (for me) but does not match newer competing cards)... erik Andy Bastien wrote:

I like my Nvidia Geforce 256. I've always found the drivers easy to install, and it gives very respectable performance now. I've heard from some people that the drivers can be a nightmare if they don't like your system(don't know there). The drivers are also binary only, and slower to update than s
