[CROSS] Which one would you recommend me...
I'd like to buy myself a new computer with a cheaper card which will
be supported well on GNU/Linux (this is very important). I don't know what to take, I was considering about R9200 and FX5200, eventualy on GF4 MX. I can'd find a GF4 4200Ti in my local store so I can't decide between these 3 models. Models a * CANYON GeForce4 MX440, 64MB DDR, TV-Out 8xAGP [48 Euros] * XFX Pine GeForce FX-5200, 128MB DDR,TV-Out,AGP 8x,RAMDAC 400MHz, retail [80 Euros] * Radeon 9200, Connect3D 128DDR Mhz,TV, AGP8x,200MHz RAMDAC, retail [90 Euros] QUESTIONS: 1) Are FX series noisy and slower comparing to ATI? 2) What's the quality of TV out on FX5200? 3) Which one of these 3 models would you recommend me? Thank you. -- Cheers, Igor Jagec -- add a letter *v* after @ to complete the e-mail ICQ#: 311102226 address |

If you want cheap and Linux compatible than why not the ATI 7500? It's about
half the price of the 9200. "Igor Jagec" wrote in message ... I'd like to buy myself a new computer with a cheaper card which will be supported well on GNU/Linux (this is very important).

I tryed to find GF4 Ti 4200, but there's no way to find a one. R7500 sounds good, but it's really hard to find. Thank you for the answer. -- Cheers, Igor Jagec -- add a letter *v* after @ to complete the e-mail ICQ#: 311102226 address |

If you're using Linux then it has to be Nvidia as they have the best drivers by far. To be fair to Ati they catching up rapidly though. Don't get an FX5200 as they are very slow. 5600/5700 Ultras are pretty competitive with the 9600Pro/XT K |

I'd like to have GF4 Ti 4200, but I don't think I could find it in local store FX5200 is relatively cheap, and I'm not planing to play games (but you never know when you can become an addict ))) so I thought that would be ok for me, for now, but you never know... 5600/5700 Ultras are pretty competitive with the 9600Pro/XT I know, but they are expensive for me Who knows, maybe FX5600 non Ultra or FX5200 Ultra would be a better choice? I don't know, maybe I invest more money for that, I'll concider about that. Thank you mate! -- Cheers, Igor Jagec -- add a letter *v* after @ to complete the e-mail ICQ#: 311102226 address |
