Dear John,
thanks for the fast reply.
Can you give me some recommendations about medium- and high priced
accelerators, too? I've read something about Nvidia Quadra2, but these
ones are very expensive. What about Geforce3?
Is the performance so mucher better compared to the low-priced cards?
Greetings,
Dominik
