Geez - what a mess! I just ordered a system yesterday from Monarch.
After spending five minutes just comparing thier VC choices with the SuSE
harware database, I settled on a ATI (Power Color) Radeon 9200 SE 128MB.
Should I have used something else?
Personally, I've been happy with my ATI 7500 performance. My only issue is
that I had to set the 3d in SaX2. Once done, however, it flys. Can't
really tell how games work, though, cause all I play is LBreakout,
SolarWolf, SuperTux and GL117. Nothing like Halo or Half Lifes.
