Hi,

I was just wondering what card I would be better off using.
I have a Dell GX260 with an ATI 16MB on board video card. Its AGP 4X.
I also have a PCI 3D Labs Oxygen GVX1 WITH 32mb.

This computer is used mainly for Digital Photography and Home video editing.

Which one would I be better off using?

Tuff Choice as in, its a no brianer or tough choice because?

The oxygen WAS a $1000 video card.
Great 2D display, great acuuracy in 3D (OpenGL) BUT its PCI.
And its 3 years old.

The ATI is a Rage Pro Ultra 2 but is AGP. With 16MB.

So I should throw in the GXV1 and disable the Ati?

Actually you could try doing some editing on both or whatever you use them for and see how it goes ;) witch one is better.

They both are outdated by now and drivers must be old to ....

If ya had $1000 3 years ago, just think about what you could buy today. for half that and be up to date.
