I have a Riva TNT2 somewhere. Lemme work out what I need to keep and get rid of first. I might use the shuttle that TdC didn't buy from me

Hi brooky

If no-one can help and you're feeling flush, the last PCI graphics card to be made were (give or take) ATI's Radeon 9250 128MB (~£31) and nVidia's GeForce FX 5500 128MB (~£43). I'm guessing the latter would have the greater performance, but sadly the PCI bus really lacks the bandwidth for the demands of graphics, hence AGP and PCI-Express. I'm guessing eBay may have these kind of cards if you don't want to splash out on new kit if it's only temporary.

Kind Regards
