Re: Best possible PCI-Express video card for DAW

["Stephen Hassard" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've had a lot of good luck with an ATI X800 XL that's now fairly well supported with GPL'd OpenGL drivers in Xorg. I've seen these boards available via ATI's website refurbished for less than $100 bucks.

Hello again, folks -

A while back I emailed you for advice on the best motherboard that I
could get for a rock-solid digital audio workstation. I appreciate all
the recommendations, and wound up buying an Intel D925XECV2 with a
Intel Pentium 4 3Ghz processor. I have 2 Kingston 512MB RAM sticks
coming as well. I've also got a Seagate 250Mb SATA Barracuda on the
way, too. I will use this for the system software and get a couple of
bigger drives for data later.

The D925XECV2 is a nice board near as I can tell (I haven't fired it
up yet) but it does not come with on-board video. It does come with a
PCI-Express slot, so my next question is what is the best video board
to get for this setup?

Thanks again!

Mark
