G force/Radeon/Linux question

    I'm building a few PC's atm and just wanted to know the
    following


    First which graphic card of the ATI/APG series is is of an
    equal level of a G force 6200?


    these two ati based cards are ones i can get hold of


    9200
    9250
    9500
    9600 - i think


    would one of these compare to a G force 6200?


    And im building an Ubuntu 9.04 Linux PC and want to know
    how to install win XP on it in windowed mode. i know it
    can be done and if i can set up a LAN through XP that way.


    thanks

    Why do you want ATI? I, personally, prefer GeForce over Radeon (have had bad exp. with radeons).

    cuz PCI is slow and APG is fast. and ATI ones are the cheapest
    G force ones are a bit harder to get though
    so... pretty much anything that's better than the one i have will do.
    but im watching an auction atm on a G force 6200 with 256mb ram and APG
    hope i can get it. LOL same one but APG and double ram :D

    PCI (the one you're talking about) < AGP < PCIE (the one I'm talking about) :)


    Get a PCIE (PCI Express) card if you can -- they're the fastest ;)


    AFAIK PCI isn't used nowadays, and AGP is totally outdated when compared to PCIE. You won't find a GeForce 200-series AGP card ;)

    Yep. PCIE is way better and hunting for a cheap mobo atm
    with that slot so i can play CRISIS!![8]


    and WOO HOO!!


    i just scored a p4 mobo for $10 and 3 P3's for $28!
    and 5 near new keyboards/3 anti glare screens/2 moniters
    nice ones and 2 optical mice for $16!


    man im frikin drooling right now![474] LOL:D

    Personally i would say go for the R9600 AGP. Had an XT version of one of those cards many years back, its been running in my son's pc now for almost 4 since i pasted it onto him.


    Good cards at a good price (especially when on a budget)
