I am going to build a P4 1.8 system. I want to run 16 bit cars in GPL.
Any suggestions on what video card to use?
Thanks!

Fwiw, I'm running the 16 bits on a P4 1.4, MX 2 with no problems. Using
Win98 though.........

btw...how ya doin' John?

The best GeForce you can afford. Over here in the UK, the Radeons have
not really impressed the reviewers in real world tests, as opposed to
benchmarks. (And over here in the UK, graphics cards are *far* more
expensive - the *cheapest* GeForce 3 (the Ti200) is �150 or so.
