    Looking for..

    An older PCI video card for my Linux Box. My ol' Mandrake 9.0 (soon to be 9.1) consists of the following:

    Linux Mandrake 9.0 (Soon to be 9.1)
    Intel Celeron Slot-1 400 running at 450 (6*75)
    AOpen AX6BC BX motherboard
    288mb SDRAM
    AOpen case w/300 Watt Power Supply
    3dfx Voodoo 3 2000 PCI 16mb video card
    Maxtor 20gig 5400RPM ATA-100 Hard Drive
    Mitsumi CD-Rom (12X/16X) Drive
    HP CD-Writer Plus 8250i CD-R/RW 4X4X24
    SoundBlaster LIVE! Value soundcard
    Generic Floppy Drive
    LG Electronics Studioworks 995E 19IN .26MM Monitor
    2 Labtec LCS-1060 speakers
    Happy Hacking Keyboard Lite 2 (Black)
    Logitech Optical PS/2 Wheel Mouse
    Netgear FA310TX 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI card
    Epson Stylus Color 880 printer


    I'd like to find a Matrox G400 32mb PCI or something along those lines if any of you happen to have one 'lying around'.

    Thanks.

    How about a GeForce2? I have one "laying around". Does it have an AGP slot?

    No, PCI only.

    Looks like the 'best' I could do is a GF4 440MX SE 64mb PCI. Several places have them new for around $60.00

    I can probably find some sort of old-school ATI Rage series PCI card lying around. Sounds like you're looking for something a little more hi-tech, though. Let me know if you're interested.

    Thanks Beast.. obviously with my linux system it's never going to be 'too' robust, but I did want to get a bit more modern with at least along the GF2 + lines. The Voodoo3 2000 16mb actually does pretty decent with KDE believe it or not. Plus with games generally limited to chromium, tux racer, etc... top notch gaming performance is not a requirement.
