SWX , Win2KPro, & P4 graphic card recommendations
(OP)
We stumbled into a problem w/ upgrading our computer boxes to P4 1.5v AGP slots. We were previously using Oxygen VX1 cards and now we are forced to change our graphics cards. What if any recommendations does anyone have out there for a midrange 3D card that will work well w/ SWX 2001 plus, windows 2000 professional and P4 w/ 1.5v AGP2 slots.
Thanks for your time.

Your set-up is almost identical to the one I use. P4 (512MB), SW 2001+ and Windows 2000 professional. The graphics card we use is the Quadro2 MXR. We have only been using it for three or four months but so far have found it an excellent entry level card and have had no problems with it. We only have 32MB on the card but even so the render speed is excellent.
If you want to know anything else let me know.

Paul

This is probably the fastest graphic card ever made so far. And that for an estimated price of under 400$.

Don't even think about buying anything that failed their testing and be very leery of anything that passed with limitations unless you have an unusually robust personality and lots of spare time. "Instability" can easily mean hours of crash recovery and quirky, misleading displays.
Good luck.

Whilst the ATI Rad 9700 looks very promising, there is still a "possible" issue with ATI's ability to produce and update drivers. Maybe they are better (or will be) and can make Video Card wars with nVidia to keep them prices WAY down, and the quality of card and drivers WAY up...

Thanks for the good feedback so far. The card listing yall have given me has been helpful.

But I wouldn't pay the extra cost. I used both cards and I couldn't see a difference.
