Hi all,
I'm planning to purchase an AGP and a sound card for my home PC. My vendor has offered me Riva TNT AGP with 16/32 mb VRAM and Creative Vibra Sound Card. The other option is an AGP from Trident. However, the performance is not as good as that of Riva. I just wanted to make sure their compatibility with Linux. If someone has any good/bad experience with the above mentioned h/w in Linux, then plz let me know.
Thanks a lot in advance.

The Riva is a 3D accelerator card, while the Trident lacks this feature (assuming you've been offered a Cyberblade). As such, I believe the TNT Riva is well supported on Linux - however, to make sure, why don't you check the Linux hardware compatibility list and the manufacturer's website? Remember, to play games such as Quake III Arena, you will need the RIva - the Trident just won't cut it.

Thanks for the reply. Btw, which X are u using? As of now I'm with 3.3.x(?) on SuSE Linux. Will I be able to use the AGP to the fullest of it's capacity?
How difficult will it be to configure the card?
Thanks again.
