I'm thinking of building a new box: asus p5e/intel core2 > quad. I had thought of getting an NV. Would ATI be the better choice? My personal advise: #1: do NOT buy NV cards. you'won't get ANY free and stable 3D support for them in reasonable future (maybe they learn in several years, but this would probably too late for you) #2: look very carefully for which cards ATI has published their specs (not sure if they did it for all). for those you've got very great chances to get an good driver in very near future (even it might not be perfect right now, but the community can and will improve it fast). I did the mistake just looking for 2D before buying my current notebook (if I had known the lack of 3D support, I had never bought it) :( cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
