HW suggestions/Stealth?
I know this gets asked every week or so, but I couldn't find anything
here recently about…hardware.
I about to sink some money into a Pentium to do MM development using
Director. I also plan to continue doing graphic design and
occasional 3DS/AniPro work. I want to find a video card that can
perform well in Windows using SW such as Corel, Photoshop, Quark etc.
as well as perform well in Dos with 3DS. I have heard good things off
and on about the Diamond Stealth card and thought I might try the 2
Mb VRAM PCI version. Any problems concerns with the implementation of
PCI? Might I regret having only 2 MB instead of 4MB…to date I have
done one ambitious animation and a bunch of small bits, but nothing
that (I think) justifies the 4 Mb.
The rest the system I'm looking to put together would be 90MHz cpu,
540 and 340 Mb HDrives, 17" NI monitor, 2x CDROM, 44 Syquest (I
already have this, otherwise I'd get a bigger one!), 16 Mb RAM (for
the moment), and a tape backup.
Any major ommissions here for 3DS work? It's been a while since I've used it or
have been on this forum, so I thought I'd check with people here to get the
latest thoughts on the matter.
