Unless you are really pushing things, almost any of the cards made by #9 (any S3 clone) or the supported ones by Matrox, will be fast enough. Opinions probably vary the most regarding monitors, due to their intimacy with the user. I have a Nokia 447X, and it is pretty nice, with very little geometric distortion, and no color anomolies. -- John dyson@freebsd.org jdyson@nc.com
