SoundBlaster Banshee 3D
I'm looking for a quick and easy upgrade in the vid card/3D Accelerator
area and I see that Best Buy has the SoundBlaster Banshee 3D for $99 w/
rebate. Prefacing this with the statements that:
1) I usually buy mail order and realize it's generally a better
deal
2) I don't like Best Buy
3) I prefer open spec hardware to closed spec
4) I run linux almost full time
5) I'M IGNORING ALL THAT ON THIS PURCHASE
For this one purchase only all I care about is outcome and these are the
only two requirements:
X Windows at 1024x786x32
Reasonable output when I run Myth II: Soulblighter
I have no AGP port
That's it. With all that said, can anyone confirm that this is the
cheapest/quickest way for me to meet the above requirements. Thanks.
