I just put together an amd64 system with the following motherboard: |

ASRock 939NF4G-SATA2 |

This mobo has an on board NVIDIA GeForce 6100 that uses shared memory. |
| 7 |
Here is what the product specs say about the on board video: |
| 8 |
- Integrated NV44 graphics DX9.0 VGA |
| 9 |
- Pixel Shader 3.0 |
| 10 |
- Max. shared memory 128MB |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
The system I replaced had a 64MB Geforce 3 Ti 500 that let me play Doom3 |
| 13 |
and other OpenGL games just fine. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I was going to get a PCI-e based Nvidia, however I did not because I |
| 16 |
thought the on board GeForce 6100 would be at *least* as fast as my |
| 17 |
older Gefore 3. So I spent the money I saved from not buying a video |
| 18 |
card to upgrade to 2GB of dual channel DDR400. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I am still building my gentoo system now, though I have fluxbox and X up |
| 21 |
and running. I am wondering if I messed something up because I am only |
| 22 |
getting about 1,700 fps on glxgears. My Gefore 3 Ti 500 would do 3,000+. |

glxinfo: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
name of display: :0.0 |
| 27 |
display: :0 screen: 0 |
| 28 |
direct rendering: Yes |
| 29 |
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation |
| 30 |
server glx version string: 1.3 |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Here is the nvidia stuff I have installed: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
eix -c nvidia |
| 35 |
media-video/nvidia-glx (1.0.8178): NVIDIA X11 driver and GLX libraries |
| 36 |
media-video/nvidia-kernel (1.0.8178-r3): Linux kernel module for the |
| 37 |
NVIDIA X11 driver |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Did I leave anything out that is needed for nvidia on an amd64? Or |
| 40 |
should I not expect anything more from the on board NVIDIA GeForce 6100 |
| 41 |
even though it is running over PCI-e? |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Thanks, |
