http://www.insight.com/web/apps/nbs/index.php?K=nvidia+pci+video+card&C=C-VideoCard http://www.insight.com/web/apps/nbs/index.php?K=ati+pci+video+card&C=C-VideoCard insight doesn't always have the best prices but they have great service, and a huge selection. I haven't tried the above cards but they should work fine just like their AGP counterparts, perhaps just a bit slower. I have a matrox g450 dual head PCI from insight in my redhat box(intel l440gx+ motherboard, no AGP), works great. Haven't tried any 3d stuff but I think it's too slow for 3d games, the nvidia would probably be best, ati should work too. looks like maybe the geforce2 MX from the list above would be the fastest, anything faster probably wouldn't make much difference on a k6-3 550, you sure thats not a k6-2? or maybe it's overclocked? fastest k6-3 I've seen I think is 450(I have a 400 in one of my boxes, love it). nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
