Hi all,
I'm looking into upgrading from the onboard graphics on my Sun Ultra 5 running Solaris 8. Basically the onboard ATI Rage chipset is pretty horrible and seems to be a bottleneck on the system.
What sort of card will be compatible? According to Sun literature the only 'official' options are the PGX32 and PGX64 cards. I looked into these but they both seem to use ATI Rage chipsets as well; plus the PGX64 only supports 3d via software rendering. Would either of these even be an improvement?
Ideally I want to run older 2d stuff like Quake, Doom etc. I would also like to look into some 3d stuff if possible (although the 366Mhz processor might end up being the bottleneck).
What do people recommend?
