GPL - Video Card Options

I'm contemplating returning my AGP Banshee card for a Thriller AGP card because of the intermittent texture problems I have in GPL with the Banshee. Questions: 1. What's your view/experience/ideas on the advantage of one card over the other? 2. Specifically, does the Thriller support 1024 x 768? FYI: All I do is GPL. System: PII 450 with 128 MB Thanks for your help!

you need two voodoo2 cards (connected to each other) to do 1024x768 ... -Lindsay

Wrong! But he was asking about Thriller at 1024x768 anyway! Thriller supports 1024x768! Borut

Jack, I too returned my Banshee for the same reasons. I got a Canopus Dure #d card. It is nothing short of awesome. I would highly recommend it. Tony

oops ... sorry Jack, more speed less haste :-( the Thriller does indeed support 1024x768. I've only ever got a single voodoo (V2 or Banshee) runnning 1024 with beta reference drivers.... but, hey, I may be wrong (again!) :-) -Lindsay

Hi guy's and gal's, my Thriller 8mb AGP did indeed support 1024x768 and looked beautiful on my Pll 233, only problem I have is that after installing the card, my rigwould no longer detect my winmodem.....chances are if you're into online racing you're not using a winmodem, but it caught me by surprise, and now my Thriller sits in a box until I figure out how to resolve the modem issue, and boy, do I miss it.....9-12 fps now in software mode, 30-36 w/ Thriller installed. :<(
