I don't need current high-speed cards and all kinds of digital connectors, I just need simple 3D capability from time to time, it's much more important that the graphics is passive, than super fast and with two fans ;). Music has got the highest priority here, it's nice if I could use the same computer for animation and video, if I like to do that, no FPS, home entertainment, overclocking etc.. A video composite output might be nice too. Even my AGP NVIDA from the stone age would be good enough, if it wouldn't come with a fan and if my current board would have an AGP slot. When I bought my mobo I thought that I need HDMI etc., but I was mistaken. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
