ATI or Matrox
ATI 8500 128MB
or MATROX MILLENNIUM G550 DUAL 32MB This is going on a business computer where Publisher is the app of choice. THere are atleast 100-200MB of publisher files open at all times. Probably more. Plus scanning and web design. Dual display must be an option. It's the video memory that im worried about. Is 32MB not enough? Is 128 too much? Which card would be better? Thanks Last edited by bosco; 08-08-2002 at 10:12 AM. |

The 550 absolutely rocks when it comes to 2D apps and will blow the 8500 out of the water. I haven't had a client use files quite as large as 2000Mb on one, so I couldn't really comment on that, but it should still work fine.

Sorry, that was a typo. I meant 100-200MB.
Would that Matrox be able to habdle 500MB of files open at one time? They deal with very large files. Most of them in Publisher. It's going to be on a machine with win2k and 1Gig of RDRAM. Last edited by bosco; 08-08-2002 at 10:13 AM. |

There's no reason why it shouldn't be able to handle that escpecially with 1Gb of RDRAM which is what's really going to make the huge difference.
