Probaly, ultimate in compatibility with various OSes would be Matrox G400. it's discontinued, so you can get a fair price. For me "good" means if it works with crappy Xsun in Solaris x86. All of the above do well. XFree86 4+ supports newer and more powerful Radeons and GeForces, but beware the absolutely latest and greates ones. G400 works with quite a few funny ones: Be, QNX, Darwin.. (nVidia is notorious for making driver developers' work hard). Your Pentium 199 <g> is quite capable for most tasks excluding professional graphics/video work. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
