>I am thinking of upgrading from a FX-5200 with 128Mb video card to a >GeForce 6200 with 512MB. It will be AGP since this is a older rig. From where does one obtain an AGP card these days? I have 4 motherboards with AGP or AGP Pro slots, and I'm damned if I can find decent video cards for them. >Monitor: Gateway 19" running 1280 x 1024 Why do you need a slick card on a monitor of that age, or are you upgrading the monitor too? Last week bought a Hanns.G HH251 24" monitor that does Full HD. I plan to install it today, after I have calculated the mode lines for the X.Org configuration. I'll report back when it is running, if anybody is interested. Incidentally, is anybody interested in a mode line calculator program? I'll be writing it later today, and I'll make it open source if there is any interest. -- Regards, Dave [RLU #314465] *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* dwn...@ntlworld.com (David W Noon) *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
