Ladies & Gentlemen:
Since I chronically run 2-3 years behind the times here (due to budget
crunch) I'm still running an old VLB 486 mobo. I may be upgrading
(finally!) during the next few weeks to a PCI pentium mobo.
Also, for similar reasons I'm still running RH 4.1, though I want to
upgrade to 5.2 when/if it comes out.
Given the above constraints (no money, old Linux) can someone make me
some reasonable recommendations for a PCI video card that works well in
X (including the X version on RH 4.1 which isn't the latest) and doesn't
cost a bundle? I'd like to keep the cost noticeably below a hundred
bucks, and something with four megs of video RAM and some reasonable
acceleration support in X would be nice. As you can tell I'm not into
bleeding edge hardware, but do want something nice. Stability is of
higher importance than bleeding-edge performance/bells & whistles.
Suggestions please?
Thanks!
Fred
