This might just seem silly but... (part 2)

What graphix card could you reccomend for a guy who only has £70 and wants to replace his 16mb riva? It's to go with a 500mhz PIII and my 128mb ram.

Find a cheap GeForce2 MX imo. I put one in a Duron system I built for my brother. As long as u don't up the res too high it runs like a dream.

 

[old.MeanMrMustard]

I am getting a duron soon (as soon as i can afford it) I won't need to worry about resolutions since my monitor is 15" can't see text over 800*600

 

[throdgrain]

err lets have a go

my system;
p3 1ghz
geforce 2 mx
128 133 ram
some dopey sound card
asus terminal adaptor

yeah you guessed it, almost straight outa the shop!
