My current lab setup includes a Mac Pro (running OSX 1.6.8 with a Radeon HD 5870 graphics card), connected to the CRT by way of a Datapixx. I use a pair of NVidia 3D glasses with a custom emitter to view my stimuli.
Despite the custom emitter, the glasses are buggy when using the Radeon card, and only appear to work properly with NVidia cards (working fine with my Mac Mini test system with integrated GeForce 9400M).
I'm planning to replace the card currently in the Mac Pro with a relatively high-end card - perhaps something from the NVidia Quadro range - and switch over to using Linux. I'm a relatively advanced user, having tinkered with Linux for a number of years, but I'm unsure of what flavour to use. The UI of vanilla Ubuntu seems like it could cause problems - is Kubuntu any better, or should I just stick to something like NeuroDebian?
Any graphics card recommendations are also welcome - I've already emailed VPixx to see if they have any, but it would be nice to hear from actual users of PTB.
Many thanks,
Danielle
