I had a 9600 in my old system. I bought an nVidia 7600 (can't remember if I got the GS or GT) for my new system because I heard it was a bit more Linux friendly.<BR/><BR/>Built it in January so I could get XP Pro and free Vista - which I have in my possession but with no intention of actually installing it, by the way. Maybe in a year or 2 I'll give it a try. XP Pro is working fine.<BR/><BR/>I figure that if your a gamer, and I like to play a few games, I figure a person only needs 1 Windows machine. What would be nice is the ability to run Windows as a virtual machine and have it use hardware rendering of the video card the same as if it was running natively. In time I suppose.<BR/><BR/>Just a few more days until Feisty is released. I'm looking forward to your final review. Then I'll be looking to see what freespire 2.0 looks like. I have a feeling it will be the best of both worlds.EarloftheWesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09091721738386958417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12906299.post-54599915851597456372007-03-28T08:15:00.000-04:002007-03-28T08:15:00.000-04:00nice trick you did changing the driver to 'vesa' b...nice trick you did changing the driver to 'vesa' before swapping the cards.<BR/><BR/><BR/>hey, if you're trowing out the old 9600, send it to me instead. i'd make good use of it. =)Brunnohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03626233473290240801noreply@blogger.com
