Hi there !
I have a choice problem and everybody seems so game-and-3D-obsessed that I can't find any useful help.
I currently have a TNT2 based AGP card.
I don't really play games (very little demanding ones) so I don't care much about 3D. But I do have many windows open at once and I switch a lot, so I guess the card I need can't be slow.
All I want is perfect 2D, DVD Hardware decoding and a card that doesn't pull my PC down in terms of performance.
Could any of you please help me :
Is Matrox still what I need (I am talking about the old G550 as Parthelia is way too expensive for me) ?
Are other cards just as good in terms of plain 2D while also offering more (you never know, I might run one game someday or become an AutoCAD expert) ?
Help, help help !!!!
