I run a dual PIII 500/256mb/Tyan Tiger 100 workstation under Windows2000 (Just hear me out!:-). I recently bought a GeForce 256 SDR because of Nvidia's awesome support for SMP.
I have dabbled in Linux a few times in the past but I always seem to go back to Windows (I need my apps). I tried 3dfx first and it didn't cut it... Sure their drivers for Linux are some of the best, but try it on a multi-processor Linux box... I've heard too many horror stories about Matrox and SMP to even go down that road.
I am a self proffessed "Windows Weenie", but I am trying... I actually installed RedHat 6.1 on my box last night (VMWare rocks!). What sorts of suggestions can you guys make for me? I have a 3DLabs Oxygen VX1, TNT2U, GeForce SDR, Voodoo3, and I could get a G400 (shudder). Keep in mind though, I still need Windows functionality and support for SMP.
