Hi I have a Radeon Ati 3d graphics external card in my machine. I have about 512 mb vram and 4 gb ram and intel core duo 2.4 ghz I have never experienced any problems with my graphics card untill i used it with wine on ubuntu. Suddenly I could not play the games I used to play in windows xp. I tested doom 95 and halo evolved and they both could not run and stuttered. I have no problems installing a windows version of filezilla so it would seem everytime i use wine with my 3d card it does work. So does this mean I have to buy another 3d card or what else to do? best regards iceb
