I shall post a picture when i get home if you still need help finding if you have one. If there is an AGP slot, your choice of video card is basically unlimited and really depends on how much you are willing to spend. If you do not have an AGP card, you will have to get a PCI videocard of which there is only a very small number of choices to give you a reasonable number of fps, your only option would be a GeForce 2 MX 400 which costs about $230 and you wont get that much performance increase with it.

Should be able to get a Voodoo 11 from trademe.co.nz, Ebay or T&E for about $50-70 each. cheers Murray P	Guest (0)
