Re: Cheap high resolution (1600x1200) video card for debian
I had a GeForce2 Pro with 64MB RAM until two weeks ago. It died and I went
out and bought a GeForce4 MX with 64MB DDR RAM for US $69. The drivers,
while closed source, are excellent and they release relatively often. And
nVidia seems quite Linux friendly, their releases seem to correspond to the
releases of the Windows drivers...
