Subject: Video Memory: How much?
Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2007 08:42:46 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070617124246.GA1266@lnx2> (raw)
Greetings: I have one machine used for video streaming/viewing using
a Max G400 video card with 8mB on board memory and with the proper server of
course..
I am not a gamer but I read so much that 8mB video memory is
obsolete these days; so I bought an AGP Creative CT5832-NVidia RIVA TNT2
with 32mB RAM.. I haven't tried it because it doesn't boot on that machine
so I'm wondering if it would be worth pursuing further.. (It works on
another machine so it's not defective; possibly a compatibility issue.)
The subject machine has a Duron 1300 CPU and 512mB PC100 system
memory.. Heretofore it seems to work fine except I think the presentation
could be better, but not really sure.. Running Slackware v10.2, 2.6.13,
xorg.
Any comments?? Of course my Net searching brings up; "the more
memory the better." <grin> Maybe someone can point to a more detailed
tutorial??
TIA..
