[vox-tech] 3d videocards with linux.

[R. Douglas Barbieri]

Hey Bill,

Where did you find the Radeon 7500 for such a good price? Online, I take
it?

I just made a visit to Frys to scope out prices and found that the Radeon
7500 is $149.00.

Do tell :)

Doug

PS: That is the board I am planning to get for a new Linux box I'm
planning to build...
