First off, you can get just as good graphic performance from BSD as from Windows, as long as your hardware is supported.

Third, you may want to get a more recent version of FreeBSD (4.3 is the latest) in order to get the best graphic support. -Bill -- If a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, then what can I get for two hands in the bush?
