I use nvidia geforce 2 60mb never crashed X never had a panic or reboot it runs so much more better on bsd than linux. If you have a low budget nvidia all the way. Current uptime with X on desktop is 45 days and X hasnt crashed ever since i ran it :) and yes good movie and dvd playback too * Michal Pasternak (michal@pasternak.w.lub.pl) wrote: > Louis Munro [Sun, Jan 11, 2004 at 10:54:35AM -0500]: > > I have been building myself a new computer in the last weeks and I am now almost done except for choosing a video card.

ATI simply rocks compared to it -- it is very stable. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hardware-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" ---++--- ---------GnuPGPVer 1.2.3-------------------------------------------------- pub 1024D/B9046473 2003-11-21 Dev Tugnait (Freebsd) <dev@unixdaemon.org> Key fingerprint = F690 6725 1930 6FBE C05A FE4D 6CB1 34C1 B904 6473 sub 1024g/F8F019DF 2003-11-21 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
