Try going from a 2MB Diamond Stealth 2000 PCI to a Matrox G400Max (best 2D image on the market). It's amazingly amazing what a G400Max'll do for you.

Newer ones will, but it'll be dog slow, and the video quality will be horrible. Beware the visual quality on cheapass cards. I went from an ATI Rage II+ to a 3dfx Banshee, and the difference was night and day. At a mere 1024x768x32x48hz interlaced, the Rage II was way blurry, but the 3dfx was crystal clear. I didn't even know a video card could affect display quality like that until I saw it for myself. I just thought it was the suckass monitor I was using at that point. ;) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org -------------- next part -------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
