Hey folks,

I'm trying to put together a new zoomy P6-based system, and I want a good
video card...and I'm at a loss for what's better than what.  Since I want
24-bit color I'll probably be running the XiG server, so absolute solid
XFree86 drivers aren't necessarily of great importance...

Any advice on what a good card would be?  Right now I'm trying to decide
between the #9FX 772 and the #9FX 771 cards.  The obvious difference seems
to be one supports "interlaced" and the other supports "sync on green".
One uses the S3 Virge/VX chip and the other...S3 Vision968.

Any good advice out there?

Thanks,

Brian
