Hi, I'm (still) planning to buy a new computer system soon. I'm still shure it will be an AMD64 system with PCI/Express onboard. I think I'll try to get my hands on a board with VIA KT890 instead of nforce4 because from what I heard, via is better supported from FreeBSD. The thing with gfx is now... I've no idea what to buy. All I need is - PCIe - 2 monitor support - non-fan cooling (passiv cooling) it looks like, both nvidia and ati don't have a 3d driver which will work on amd64 right? As far as I can see there are two choices left: - Gigabyte GeForce 6600, 128MB DDR, DVI, TV-out, PCIe (GV- NX66128DP) - Sapphire Radeon X300 Lite both cards provide a 2nd monitor option so I can use xinerama (or am I worng?) and are cooled w/o a fan. I guess(!) that the ATI case produces less heat which makes me tend to that one. Any suggestions what to buy? -- Oliver Lehmann http://www.pofo.de/ http://wishlist.ans-netz.de/
