Which card to use for XFree86 version 4.3.0 Greetings I have come to a crossroads with my linux box running
slackware 9.1 The problem is I have 2 video cards and can't seem to
determine which one is better to use.
card 1: AGP Voodoo 3 3000 with 16 megs
card 2: AGP ATI Rage 128 GL RF with 32 megs I think
The question is does one of these outshine the other by a landslide or
are they both pretty much equal to each other seeing as they both are
from about the same year. I have done some reading online and it
almost seems the Voodoo should be faster yet it only has half as much
RAM. Does slackware have better support for one manufacture over the
other? Any input would be great.
Right now I have the ATI in the machine and X runs fine but currently
it's running in frame buffer mode which seems to be extremly slow with
anything openGL based.
One last concern is that I know the Voodoo only can do 16bpp, does the
ATI also have that problem? |
