RE: Video card recommendations?

["Brierley, Sean" <Sean@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ananda:

I like the Matrox G400+. I like Matrox cards for DTP in general, Matrox's 2D
continues to be excellent and it's 3D and gaming pretty solid. I used to use
Number 9 cards, too, but that company hasn't had a competitive release in a
long time. Other cards, such as the Voodoo 3 do good 2D and wonderful 3D
gaming, plus are easier, I think, to overclock.

For FrameMaker and Adobe in general, I'd avoid STB and ATI, based on poor
performance and/or driver issues . . . but maybe I am alone in that.

Best regards,

Sean
