[PD] Gem/Framestein and video cards

[Ben Bogart - FMPM/F1999]

Hey Sam,

I think it is your card, Matrox is not known for good 3D performance. I 
have a Nvidia GeForce2 MX-400 and it works great with GEM, bautiful frame 
rates. The faster the openGL on the card the faster GEM will be. This 
basically means you want one of those "gamer" cards. I do recommend 
Nvidia, nice cards for the price, dual head possibilities and great linux 
support. 

Good luck
Ben
