[Discussion] Video card buying advice

[James Cannon]

Hi Jim,

That all depends whether you want to buy a card that
is supported by SciTech's driver or not. I am quite
satisfied using SciTech VESA driver. For me it is fast
enough for any 2D work I throw at it. All depends on
your budget and whether it will dual-boot. If it will
dual-boot and you plan on hooking it up to an HDTV,
you probably want to get on that has HDCP (HD Copy
Protection) should you ever add a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD
drive. If not, then it is more based on your pocket
book, as the choices are pretty much NVidia or AMD
(ATI).

Sincerely,
James Cannon
