Nice summer, nice and hot .... actually too hot for some of my PC components. I don't know what exactly died an hours ago, but suddenly the whole display looked sun-dried. The colours where all wrong and so on. Monitor or graphical card, perhaps both... and with a really good timing. My GSM-service-provider just announced a new bonus server where it's now much easier to get a new mobile phone and well, I wanted one. Now I first have to find out what exactly died and replace it. So no money left for a new phone :-( Nice summer.

Some updates
Okay, today I got an ATI Radeon 9200SE as a weekend-replacement for my overheated GeForce 2 GTS (Tnx to Stephan) and after about an hour of trying to get DRI working it also got at least about 1000FPS in glxgears but ... then I updated the drivers to version 3.9.0 and suddenly I only get ~680FPS. Strange but thanks to this I could more or less make up my mind about to or not to buy a new low-budget card by NVidia ;-) I'm currently thinking about a GeForce 4 TI 4200 or a GeForce 5 FX5200 (at least something <= 80⬠) because I don't really need a highend graca for an AMD Athlon TB 1200 ;-) If anyone has some recommendations in this price region, please let me know :-)
