[MPlayer-users] "What card do you suggest me to buy?"

[gabor farkas]

i only want to say that i'm using nvidia products ...


i used a tnt2 and now i've got a geforce 4....

it works without problems with mplayer...

the only problem is that sometimes ( approximately once every month,
starting to watch a movie using xv restarts the x server, but then it
works again... but i'm using mandrake cooker ( lots of beta software ),
so the bug doesn't really have to be in mplayer+nvidia )..

i said it a lot of times :-):
if 2d is more important then matrox, else nvidia 

bye,
gabor
