I suggest an AMD 475 MHz. with may be a 133 MHz bus to the AGP & Ram,
something like an Asus P5B without on board anything.
The AMD 475s are a good buy at least in my area.
I've got an MSI 5184 board with 1 Meg cache AMD 350 MHz. and 8 Meg AGP 3D
Rage Pro and it runs just fine, easiest install of anything i've ever
installed. Mitsumi Burner gives me an I/O error though. It's a Mitsumi
CR-4802TE.
Good Luck!
