Hello all,

I was wondering what people would suggest for a video card if i plan
to run X on my RH 2.0.30 machine.  Machine is a 686-150+ with 32mb
ram.  I could use either PCI or ISA cards.

I dont want to break any records with benchmarking, nor spend a mint
but i want something thats comfortable to use when scrolling about and
so on.

Actually the best combination would be to get a PCI SVGA card which
also has a MONO db9 connector on it so i can use the little orange
monitor that i have on it now, now and then.  Does anyone know of such
a card?  Ive looked around the swap meets but to no avail.

Upto $150 would be the most i would spend.


Catch ya,
