It's time to upgrade! My old 2 MB Diamond Stealth, though still working as well as ever, is ready to retire to a spare system. My empty AGP slot is ready to be used, but what do i put in it? I'd like to hear your thoughts on what to buy, keeping in mind i don't play games much (and have no dedicated 3D card either, and don't really intend on getting one), and I don't want the latest (and most expensive) technology. The bargain of the moment will suffice. Since I'v put up with 2Mb for so long, I'll even up my min. spec of 8Mb to 16Mb. So what good value/good performance/low hassle 16-32Mb cards are there out there (I gather the 64Mb ones are still too pricey)? -- OzzyFrank �������������������������������� Want Registry Tips and Cool Tweaks? �������������������������������� http://ozzyfrank.150m.com/C-Frank.htm ��������������������������������
