[lug] Good 2D video card

[David]

   I am running on an Asus A7M266 board here (1.4GHz Athlon) and haven't
   had problems so far.  But I don't use ECC RAM.  The performance of this
   machine for CFD (computational fluid dynamics) and Ray Tracing has
   amazed all of the users to date.  This thing seems significantly faster
   than some of the really expensive Unix workstations.  SuSE recognized
   all of my hardware (including 2 SCSI cards, tape changers, ...) without
   problems.  So I would assume that RedHat would also run perfectly well
   on this system.

I have just bought a machine with the Asus A7M266 running a 1.4GHz
Athlon with 500Mb DDR memory.  It is back at the shop right now since
it appears there is some hardware problem causing it to hang.
However, when it was runnning, under KRUD/RH7.1, it was nearly twelve
times faster than my PII 200mHz machine - I was hoping it would be
five times faster =8-)
