Another alternative is to run two video cards. I did that for a long time, with an Nvidia GeForce 4 MX440 SE (AGP) and a cheap Matrox (PCI), then replaced the Matrox with an Nvidia TNT2(PCI). Both setups worked great, there was only a little trouble with the kernel switching to the PCI card if I set the bios to use AGP, so I just set it to use PCI all the time. For the Nvidia cards, I used Nvidia's non-free drivers. They work awesome. For the Matrox, I just used the in-tree kernel driver. Worked just fine. Also, don't try dual-booting this with Win2k. I think I got it working, but it sure sucked. But if money is not an obstacle, I would start with looking for used Matrox cards on Ebay. You should be able to get something pretty decent for less than retail. -- -johann koenig Today is Prickle-Prickle, the 55th day of Bureaucracy in the YOLD 3170 My public pgp key: http://mental-graffiti.com/pgp/
