greetings
i am thinking of purchasing a 256 meg or larger AGP video card
my current card is a 128 meg nvidia geforce fx 5200 and i have a viewsonic vp201s lcd monitor
are their larger memory AGP cards worth buying? i have no idea
it will be for serious CentOS and Win XP integration and testing and eventually production issues...
XP is a necessary support issue in these circumstances
since i am not a gamer (used to duke nukem a long time ago etc) i am mainly looking for the best stability and quality price performance etc blah
If you're not playing games and you don't need to drive a giant screen, your current card seems like plenty. That said, if I was going to buy a new card and placed some value on bang/buck, I'd probably stick with something like the Nvidia 6800GT-based products. They come in 256mb flavors and don't cost an arm and a leg.
Cheers,
