From where does one obtain an AGP card these days? I have 4 |
| 8 |
motherboards with AGP or AGP Pro slots, and I'm damned if I can find |
| 9 |
decent video cards for them. |

Why do you need a slick card on a monitor of that age, or are you |
| 14 |
upgrading the monitor too? |

Last week bought a Hanns.G HH251 24" monitor that does Full HD. I plan |
| 17 |
to install it today, after I have calculated the mode lines for the |
| 18 |
X.Org configuration. I'll report back when it is running, if anybody is |
| 19 |
interested. |

Incidentally, is anybody interested in a mode line calculator program? |
| 22 |
I'll be writing it later today, and I'll make it open source if there |
| 23 |
is any interest. |
