    Yo,

    I'm about to order a graphic card for my brand new PegasosII arriving in a few days... Yoohooo!
    I don't have that much cash to spend, so it will be between a Voodoo3 on Ebay or a Radeon7000.

    I was wondering what is the best card for MacOS on Peg? I know that only the 3Dfx cards work in 3D under Morphos... but what about MOL and PegXmac? Is it better taking a Radeon7000? (obviously more recent, and with 3D will work under MorphOS1.5 as far as I know)

    Cheers,
    JBB

    Hi

    Do yourself a favour. Get the Radeon. Its faster than the voodoo in MOS and if you plan on running LINUX at all then its a MUST. Voodoo is not good for Peg Linux... The ONLY reason to use Voodoo is for 3d ATM... but next release of MOS should have 3d driver for Rad 7k series..

    If you get Voodoo get the V4000 with 32mb Ram.. If you get Radeon get the 7500 with 64mb DDR Ram or better..

    imo

    ...next.....release....of.....MOS......


    Indeed MOS1.4 is the only reason Voodoo is still in my Peg2. Linux isn't a good enough reason to remove it!
