Darrel;

It's is an old computer I rescued from the recycle pile at work. The video
slot is an 2,0 AGP one. The mother board does not have on-board video. The
best I can see the card currently in the machine is a TNT A 16 MB SDRAM,
TwiN-Texel architecture. The info I read claims it can do 3D. Checking
under desktop effects I just see a message saying the card is not
supported, or not in the database, and 3D effects are disabled.

The local Micro Center computer store has a FX5200 AGP card for about $50
new, too much for what I want to do. I normally see boxes of used PCI
video cards at the flea markets. I just needed to get a recommendation on
one or more to be on the look out for when poking through the boxes.


That seems to high for an FX5200. I recently bought one at a local store for
$39. I think. I now have two systems with FX5200 cards. One a PIII 866MHZ
SuSE10.3 and one a P4 3.2GHZ with SUSE 10.2. Both run googleearth fine.
