Xinside for $99. It supports just about every graphics card out there,
usually at the card's highest resolutions and deepest colormaps. If
the price isn't a problem for you, this will free you to buy just about
any card you want. I purchased a Matrox Millenium and am very happy
with it in 1280x1024x24-bit color (when I can afford a monitor which
supports it I'm going to switch to 1600x1200x24-bit color, but that's a
long while off yet ...). For me the $99 purchase was worth it just for the
time saved on installation -- the 24-bit color and high resolution, and
the choice of any card I wanted to buy really clinched it for me, though.
Hope this helps,
Jean.
