Re: which ATI card?

I running openSuSE 10.3 and have an ATI Sapphire card. I do minor
gaming and wanted something cheap, but could handle Quake III arena.

I downloaded the drivers from ATI and they work perfectly. It has the
ability to do dual head, along with SVIDEO out. Draw back, no dvi
cables included....

$70 ATI Sapphire 3650 512MB
