Gravitymaster 0 #1 May 3, 2002 It's time to upgrade my PC again. Adding an extra 256 mb of RAM to a total of 512 mb and going to upgrade my video card from an ATI Rage with 32mb to something at least 64mb. Just wondering what everyone is using and/or what you recommend.Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indyz 1 #2 May 3, 2002 Depends what you want. If you want quality 2D with optional dualhead support, go with a newer Matrox card. Video people seem to like ATI's stuff. If you want game performance NVidia is top of the line, although ATI's newest stuff also performs quite well.Don't limit yourself to 64 megs. Most of the newer 3D cards have at least 128. It also depends on what OS you are running. All of the cards I mentioned are well supported on Windows. NVidia has pretty good quality drivers available for Linux users, as does Matrox. ATI has support for older cards for Linux, I believe.Check out AnandTech for what are (in my opinion) some of the best, most detailed, least biased reviews out there.--Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YahooLV 0 #3 May 7, 2002 I have a Matrox card and it's GREAT! It's 2D and works well with just about everything. As far as memory goes....PUMP it with everything you can get into it. The more memory you have, the more you can do with video and still work. Trust me, you can never have enough memory.....well, maybe I can. (1GIG) just for video. Have fun, and be creative!
