Video Card and frame rates

[Darryl]

Ok, I went to a computer show that is in my area until tomorrow and bought an MSI MX-440-T8X....exactly what you said NOT to get, which I found out when I got back home (I was just looking for Geforce2 or higher). Just out of curiosity, why do you say to avoid the ones with "MX" in their name?

At any rate, I never got the card to work properly in my system. It initialized as a secondary card but never showed the desktop. There was always an error. Tried to install it for about 4 hours. It always initialized for multiple monitors, but never showed the desktop. After that I popped my ancient S3 back in and it worked fine once again.

Guess I'd better check what cards work well with multiple monitors AND OpenGL. For some reason trying to get that other card to work disabled my "TV" part of the other card as well. When I took the MSI card out the TV started working again.

Guess I'll have to try another card.
