Hello there! Long time lurkers first post and im asking advice! :)
I have given up with my radeon HD 2400 on most levels and unfortunatly isnt enough to run what i need now in Linux. The main things i use are grahpical apps (blender and gimp). I also like to use second life. Ive only got an AGP slot on my PC so i think im kinda limited.
I sort of have an option though. I have a radeon x1950 PCIE boxed and never used. Ive got a case with 4 slots at the back (midi case i think its called). So im debating if i should upgrade my motherboard or get a new AGP card.
If it helps any, System reqs for Second Life: Linky (http://secondlife.com/support/sysreqs.php)
Regardless of what it says under system reqs, from what i understand theres been a lot of problems with all the HD cards and they possibly arnt the best card to get. Im kinda paranoid after the HD 2400 and working drivers now :) So, does the x1950 pro work well on linux? Would it be fine with Blender and Secound Life? If sticking with AGP for the time being is fine, what card should i get? Or what motherboard should i get... :)
Thanks for any replys!
