Message-ID: <mfrCz8CG2.6KG@netcom.com> Organization: NETCOM On-line Communication Services (408 261-4700 guest) Date: Sun, 13 Nov 1994 23:40:50 GMT Lines: 15 The Pentium P-90 system I'm planning on buying soon comes with an ATI Mach64 video card with 2Mb. I've heard a lot of really good things about the #9 GXE Pro card and am wondering if perhaps I should ask to get that one instead. I'll be doing the usual windows goo, but I'd like to spend most of my time running either netbsd or freebsd (haven't decided which yet). And yes, that incudes running X. Should I get the #9 card or should I just stick with the ATI board? Thanks -mark frost
