With plenty of facts, and a few lines of verse thrown in for good measure, Len will put to rest your uncertainties about which video card to buy.

Good article! In fact, it is what a simmer needs to know about graphic hardware.

One question: I have bought an ASUS-CUSL2/PIII1000/256MB combo to replace my "old" PIII600, AND I have an "old" Geforce 32DDR. What should I do about the Geforce? Keep it? Replace it? I like this board but it falls short of raw power if you compare it to the Geforce2 series (except MX, of course).

That is why I upgraded the processor first, because sims are CPU hungry, but I am doubting if I made the right choice.

Again good article!

Wait a bit longer for prices to fall then find a good GF2 Pro board... that will carry you into 2002

Viking1,

Do you know if EAW runs on the KYRO II card?
I want to replace my TNT2. But not if I can't run EAW on the new card!

Sorry, can't say for sure. Since EAW was written for DX5 and the drivers now are DX7 or DX8.....
