I second that. I got a Hercules geforce II mx card 32mb sdr ram. It runs great on my system, which is only a notch up from yours AMD K6-2 400 Asus P5-A Mo-board 128mb pc 100 ram.... It put a few more months of life into my system before I'll have to do some core upgrades. I recommend it. -J- "MuuMiMan" <ihatespamandyoumustr...@mbnet.fi> wrote in message news:3a150204.1318626@uutiset.nic.fi... > In a place known as alt.games.quake2, Stephen Gordon > <keng...@primus.com.au> was running around screaming something about > "3D Card Recommendations".
