Hello!!! I would like an opinion about a video card which is not listed on the "Qualification of Maya 8.5 on Supported Windows Operating Systems"
http://www.alias.com/eng/support/maya/qual....html#notebooks
I am planning to buy a Laptop "HP Pavilion dv9000t " which has "256MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600"
Is there anyone here with technical skills to answer me if I will have problems to run Maya 8.5 if I buy this computer?
Please, give me your suggestion of which Laptop you think I should get instead of the HP one. I do not like Mac and I have maximum $1700.00 to spend.
Ahhhh... and I also need this computer run "Second Life" www.secondlife.com
which is very specific about video cards. Here what they ask for:
"Second Life may not run on graphics/video cards other than the ones listed above. Unfortunately, if your graphics card includes any of the following words, it's NOT compatible with Second Life:
nVidia cards that report as a RIVA TNT or TNT2
ATI cards that report as RAGE or RAGE PRO
ATI cards that report as RADEON 320M, 340M, 345M, or similar model numbers
Intel
Intel Extreme
3DFX
RIVA
TNT
SiS
S3
S3TC
Savage
Twister
Rage
Kyro
MILENNIA
most cards by MATROX
The following cards have not been tested with Second Life, and compatibility is not certain:
nVidia cards that report as Quadro
ATI cards that report as RADEON IGP or RADEON XPRESS
ATI cards that report as FireGL
ATI cards that report as FireMV "
I would go with one of these "not tested" video cards because it has the ones from maya specifications. But which computer is the best option since I do not know where to search a computer by the video card?
Thanks
