I would suggest either a GeForce4 MX440 64Mb DDR or ATI Radeon 9200 SE 64MB should be around the price range you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy 60 Posted January 10, 2004 lol, my first PC was a 486 with Win 3.1 and VGA graphics. That was in 1997 I got that. Had tonnes of DOS games on it, but it just diedon me, so I eventually bought a new comp with money from my temporary part time job, at McDonalds, in 2001 :mad: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy 60 Posted January 11, 2004 You know, for the worlds most widely used operating system, Windows took long enough to get 32bit. They were still only 16bit until Win 95 came out, other OSs were 32bit as far back as 87. Makes you wonder how they got so popular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, im starting to get VERY annoyed at XP apart from disabling some of its stupid unused services. Im planning to put Gentoo onto one of my HDDS on my new pc. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
