Wildcat4 7210 - Ultra high end with a total of 384MB of onboard memory, AGP8x
Wildcat4 7110 - High end with 256MB onboard memory, AGP8x
The Wildcat 7110 and 7210 video cards are the newest 3DLabs products tested successfully for Summit Evolution.
Either of these cards is an excellent choice.
Notes of interest...
1. The computer must have 8X AGP architecture, AGP PRO 50, 110 or better. (Note: The AGP PRO 50 slots on ASUS P4 computers may require a bios upgrade if the computer locks up after a short time.)
2. Support for a secondary display using LCD monitors, or monitors that do not sync at the same 100+Hz for the primary, stereo monitor, is not technically supported by 3DLabs. However, testing has been fairly successful for this type of setup by Dat/em using the following drivers, and a Wildcat4 7110 video card:
a. Driver 05.06.02.42 for Windows 2000
b. None for Windows XP. Drivers tested included 06.06.02.42 and 06.06.00.35 for Windows XP.
The following information was obtained from the 3dLabs web site.

"Wildcat4 technology takes complete advantage of the new AGP 8x interface standard, transferring 2GB of graphics information per second between the graphics card and the system. The Wildcat4 architecture also combines geometry and raster engines into a single, high-performance, high-bandwidth, integrated processor for today's best professional graphics performance on the desktop."
