RE: [TCLUG:21533] pci video cards

The Trident cards have extremely poor performance all around.

I doubt that they'll be able to push 1280x1024x32bpp (or 16bpp),
and if they can, it's going to slow down your machine a bunch.

Go look at Best Buy for an open-box Voodoo3 2000/3000 PCI
card, you can often find them for ~$60. (16MB)

I never said that I recommend a Trident (I wouldn't wish that fate on
anyone) I just answered his question about cheep pci video cards, and local
stores that have em.

Ewww. Trident. Ewww. $35 is too much for a Trident. Free is too much for
a trident. Only take a trident if you're getting paid to take it. In
both cash and sexual favors.

Tridents really suck. Back me up here people. ;)
