Given a choice of ATI Rage Fury, Creative Labs 3D Banshee or Creative Labs TNT
Blaster, which would you go for ? There must be XFree support, of course, but
as this is primarily for a machine for the kids to play games on whatever is
good for that is most important. I'm not a big gamer, so I don't keep up. I
have a Millenium in my main machine - great XFree performance, though I don't
think it's so hot for current games (esp. N64 and Playstation emulators :-) )
Have a nice long weekend, and feel for us poor sods who work in a country which
has its public holidays when they fall - no shops open tomorrow, and I have to
work on Monday :-(
Kindest regards,
Niall O Broin

P.S. If the choice is a rage, is there a big reason to buy a 16M RAM version instead
of 8MB. What do they do with all that memory - off screen textures, double/triple
buffering or what ?
