decent card :laugh:  I'm going to stick with my 9800 pro untill i can afford to go to PCI-e.  It can play BF2 on medium, couple high, with 4xAA very nicely.

Linux users should not even consider an ATI card--no ATI card performs more than 2/3 as well as its comparably-priced nvidia counterpart in linux. This is partly due to their natural deficiency at openGL, and partly their less dedicated support for linux.

Supercollider? I just met her!

Er...ATi cards perform just fine. It's just getting them to work that's the hard part :p

I wouldn't suggest anything current (read: released in the last 4 years) from ATi's line to a Linux enthusiast. Stick with nVidia. Then again, if you use linux, you should be savvy enough to know this :p

Dumb question, but I just received a ATI Radeon X700 for free. Its PCI-Express. Can I use this card in my Pentium 4 motherboard that is not PCI-Express? I've heard conflicting opinions and have not installed it for obvious reasons.


Thanks for any input.

PCI, PCI-E, and AGP are all different slots and arn't compatable with other hardware than what is ment for them.
