 Posted: Tue Apr 15, 2003 3:45 pm Post subject: Throwing away my ATI card |
 |
|
| I'm planning on giving up on my ATI Radeon video card, which was never able to give me 2 displays. I'd like to replace it with an NVida equivalent that will give me 2 displays. Anyone recommend a card? Any advise on the steps I will need to take to get the machine to reboot properly after replacing the card? Thanks. |

i would look at the ti4200 series. they aren't that expensive and perform quite well.
you're not really going to throw that card away, are you? 
I'll pay for shipping if you want to send it to me. 
or you could sell it on ebay or something....but don't throw it away. |
