Hi all, I'm about to build a new pc, the first in quite a few years. My problem is that I can't find out if I should choose a 3D chipset from Intel, Ati, or nVidia. What's the state of support, track record, and such for these nowadays? I'm planning to use FreeBSD (duh) mainly as a quad-core, dual-headed, desktop workstation, but would very much like to be able to play the occasional BZFlag (call me oldschool). Which vendor I choose will affect my options for motherboard and (onboard/separate) video, which will affect my choice of CPU, and so on. So this seems to be a fundamental question, but I can't find an authoritative guide to 3D in FreeBSD. Any tips? :o) KlaymenDK -- 010\001\111 --
