ATI likes to swap chips around, so that one "ATI WonderFoo" board may not have the same chipset as the "ATI WonderFoo" sitting next to it. On the other hand, ATI does tend to use the same chipset across a range of boards, so the that first "WonderFoo", a "RageFoo" and "FooPro" will all work equally well using the same drivers. My gut reaction is that any older brand name video card should work well without being overly expensive. The name means it should have been popular, so the bugs should have been ironed out by now. Older makes that more likely, as well as dropping the cost. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
