Re: [LUG] re LUG Graphics cards

["Paul Sutton" <psutton@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

no sure,  the reason I my upgrade (when funds permit) is that sometimes when
the machine boots up the screen is full of small horizontal lines,  it still
works  but this just looks dodgy as soon as say the windows or suse / lilo
bootloader appears it' ok,  not sure if it's a sign the card is dying. it
works great in suse 8 however a few of the games like racer complain about
3d not enabled, but i need to read a few docs,  want to get the host not
found thing fixed first.  but yes if you are interested we can arrange
something,  also upgrading to faster card will allow games to run better as
even with 3d accelaration fixed 16mb is small amount of memory for games to
use.

not sure when i will  be upgrading though,  if i remember i will mail you
otherwise will just post to the group.
