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.

I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you've never
actually  known  what  the question is."
