Video cards

[Ben Duncan]

I dunno about power, does not seem to use any more on the PIC-X
ones I use. I think the ones they are talking about are the
HARDCODE gamers top-o-the-line SLI stuff, which some EVEN have
their OWN 12 Volt plug to run off the Power Supply.

In this box, I have a 22" Widescreen it usess a 6200 Series AGP. I have
several widescreen using the 72/82xxx series at customer's sites.

All work in that mode. For this 22" widescreen, I use 1600x1200 @ 60Hz ...

The others all have a 19" Widescreen at 1440x900.

You can use the nVidia drivers from Lonni. They work great ..
