if they went away .. we'd have to bitch about ati/matrox :-0
to be.. they're all equally bad ...
- had to install drivers for gazillion varitions and reasons
- one usually inherits their hardware they have ....
and have to call for help ... to get their box running
- sometimes easier to just telll um call somebody else :-0
( esp if its a video card we already played with and x11 didnt
( work just right
- FireGL-2 seems to be the wrost video card in my book ..
- itd work ... than it randomy hangs/dies..
and than it'd work while you're there ... go away and it
dies again ..
- scrapped all of them and replaced with nvidia and
all the stereo 3d graphics seems to be happy
( and worked faster than the firegl-2 stuff
- both of those cards retailed at about $1,00 each a year ago...
and its still flaky/crappy ...
- even the $20 rage128 did 1600x 1280 or whatever it was
but they needed "3D stereo"
