I can say things for and against AMD and NVidia in general, myself. However, I'm hoping that someone might have some experience with that specific chipset. I did have a quick squiz at an AMD compatibility table, but that lists a plethora of technical things I do not know about, and gives no clue about general-use issues like: Does it run reliably? Can I run it without tortuous configuration and special software installation. I am not trying to do anything special (no games, etc.), just run of the mill internet computing, and the ability to play ordinary video media, the likes of what you may find on YouTube (which does mean some HDTV resolutions, at full screen). My current PC had a NVidia AGP card that went doolally. It's been the cause of numerous crashes while watching videos. Pull the card out and use the on-board graphics (Chrome, ugh!), and it can't even manage medium definition TV (mid-way between SD and HD), but doesn't crash. The sound goes out of sync, the frame rate goes down. It's even a pain to just draw the basic windows when you open things like email. So, trying to find a viable alternative that I can buy from local shops (where I can take things back) is becoming a priority. Going slightly in my favour is that Australia is always behind the rest of the world with hardware, so what may be a new and a problem to someone overseas, may be old and supported by the time that we can purchase it over here. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.8-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Tue May 12 17:42:35 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
