Hello!
About the Quake issue:
I want to "upgrade" my vga card ( a S3 Trio64). I will replace it with
a Hardware-accelerated OpenGL card.
I am considering two options:
1.- Creative Labs Voodoo Banshee with 16MB of Ram
2.- Riva TNT with 16MB or TNT2 with 32MB
I need your advice: Which card is better for playing Quake, Quake II,III
in Linux.
Is there a significant improvement in running Mesa (OpenGL like) programs
(games :-) in Linux with these cards?
Thanks,
