I've read through the posts on this board and many others. I am still undecided as to which card to get. The matrox G450, ATI 7500/8500 or ATI 32MG DDR. I have to admit I haven't done my homework very well on this one.
Priorities in this order are:
1. Win XP driver stability (redraw problems are ok, crashes would not be)
2. Photoshop for home use
3. Best 2D performance available balanced with stability
My set up coming from Egghead is:
ABIT IT7
P4 1.8A
DDR2700 (outside says Samsung. I hope it is true Samsung)
WD special editing 8mb 80G
Enermax 431 PSU
TDK CDRW velo 40x
Using sound on the mobo (hope it's good enough for now)
