Question on changing from Nvidia to ATi
« on: August 23, 2011, 08:19:27 AM »
At present I am running a Nvidia FX5900 turbo graphics card with 256mb on board ram. Clock speed 410mhz, memory 800mhz (or 452 & 885 with coolbits).
I will be changing over to an ATi (don't know what model yet as it's part of a deal with a customer - but it will be the best that will fit my set up (see signature) with 512mb or 1gig ram)

My question is, when I change the cards over (AGP fitting) will PCLinuxOS see it, or will I have to load drivers for it?

Acer Aspire SA60, Intel Celeron 2.8ghz, 2gig ram, 1x80gig (xp), 1x80gig (PCLinuxOs) & 1x100gig (Storage) hard drives,Nvidia FX5700 graphic card, 22" lcd monitor @ 1680x1050res. Running dual boot Win XP and PCLinuxOS KDE on separate drives.
Even for this rig, performance is good and all 3d works
