[aclug-L] Re: Radeon 32meg PCI

[Jonathan Hall <jonhall@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In my experience, Radeon cards conflict with most CPUs and with most
motherbaords.  In other words, they are crap :)

Especially the PCI models which, as I understand it, try to somehow
magicially emulate AGP... and that gets gross.

The problems I'm aware of are also agrivated under certian operating
systems--most notibly, Windows 2000 and XP, if memory serves.
