THEN GET THE 2 or 4 MB VERSION !!
Or any other tried and tested graphics card ... Not a State of the Art
Raging wh00r of a card..
1. The drivers won't be as stable as more traditional cards.
2. 2d Will display exactly the same on a Bog standard S3 Virge as they will
on a GeForce3 or whatever.
3. The Geforce3 will generate extra heat in your machine.
4. You are an idiot.. i don't know who would employ you... i can imagine you
trying to put No fear stickers and Tinted peripherals on your box, cause it
look cool ????
You obviously know very little about anything ?
Did you go to the M$ school if IdiotVille ?
1. Catch Idiot.
2. Beat with learn stick.
3. Repeat step 1 till either idiot is dead or has clue.
Keith.

urggg... they're absolutely useless. usually only have 1MB and you
can't get any decent resolution, or if you do you end up running in
depth 8bpp and you get horrible dithered icons.

yes. a nice GUI tool, so that i can easily do what i want to do with
my boxes with as little hassle as possible, instead of having to look
at bloody prompts to make sure that the command i'm typing is going to
box "foo" and not "bar".
instead of having to trawl through man pages, or worse info pages and
that bloody GNU info viewer, and sometimes even having to look at
source cause the programmer couldn't be arsed to do documentation.
give me a GUI telling me what options are available, what information
the programme needs so i can type it in without having to remember
that the data needs to be delimited with character , terminated with ;
and enclosed in { };
so much fecking fuss and time wasted, when all i need to do is, eg add
a host to DNS.
argg..

well, if you want GUI tools, then a graphics card might be important
actually.
