Video card

Need a replacement video card for an old backup computer (uses Win98) -- anyone recommend a decent, inexpensive card for 2d work?

 

Any Nvidia-based "GeForce MX440" 64mb chipset card with AGP 8X will work fine. And sometimes you can even get a nice $20 - $30.00 rebate on them.

You can probably buy an ATI Rage or ATI XPert card on EBay for about $5.

 

Yeah, go with the MX440 card for about 30 bucks, as it's still modern and useable. It's really not sensible to save 10-15 bucks and try to pick up a used obselete card off ebay.


If you do need a PCI card for some reason, I suppose try and find an old Matrox Millennium 2.

 

thanks all

 

Correctomundo.... But if you are thinking ATI Rage and Xpert are "obsolete", you are mistaken.

 

I'm running and Radeon 7500 and a 9100 PCI version on 2 213T. the picture quality is alrite but the 2D is slow (slow cursor reponse...)
