    Best 2D Video Card for Business User?

    Chech these out at the moment on eBay, all of which should give you around the same performance as the G550 or better, for £30 or less (outright), any of them should be fine for 2D too: - 32MB SiS 305 - AGPx4, 1920x1200 (New - £17.00) 64MB Kyro II - AGP, FSAA (New - £23.99) 64MB ATI Radeon 7000...

    Best 2D Video Card for Business User?

    Hi Richard, glad to be of help. The 9200 is a pretty good card, although note that this is the equivalent to the Radeon 9000 gaming series, which although competent, would now be considered 'budget' giving around GeForce4 MX or lower GeForce3 performance, it may be worth if you can afford it to...

    Best 2D Video Card for Business User?

    Really it depends on what you're going to be using it for. You describe yourself as a 'business-user', so if you want a high-end business card rather than a mainstream or gaming one, you'd be looking at the nVidia Quadro 4 series (I think the NVS series is a optimised for 2D) or the 3DLabs...

    What 3d Accelerator ?

    kwunder, can you give me your email address so that I can forward details to you. By the way, I'd consider the 64MB version again carefully. By the time games need atleast a 128MB graphics card you're gonna be thinking of upgrading anyway, because by then the GeForce4 Ti4200 will be struggling...

    What 3d Accelerator ?

    The £69 GeForce3 Ti200 is also worth looking at (gives around 70+ percent of the GeForce4 Ti4600's performance under most circumstances, as are the 'Golden Sample' cards of various chipsets available at ebuyer (these are made so as to be overclocked with xtra large heatsinks). A GeForce3Ti or...

    XP=performance hit on Video cards?

    It should be that XP gives superior games performance accross the board, particularly with nVidia's latest XP drivers which are designed to fully take advantage of memory bandwidth etc of GeForce cards. I myself get better performance under WindowsXP @ 1600x1200 than under the same settings at...

    laptop video card

    As far as I'm aware, the only notebook that can be upgrade is the Dell Inspiron series from 8100 upwards, from the GeForce2 GO to the GeForce4 Go. Any other laptops and I'm afraid you're stuck. Plus there's no video expansion cards available for laptops, so the only way to add a 3d accelerator...

    Laptop Monitor Resolution

    Hi the_edge I have a ThinkPad 600, and if you want any program running at 800x600 or 640x480 to run in full-screen then you press & hold the function-key ("FN" I think), then press F8 (or one of the buttons around there anyway) and the display will expand to fill the screen. However...
