Franki, wish I was joking. Unfortunately I am unemployed right now and the only machine I have besides a 486 is this P I I got 5 years ago. The software manager is not being displayed completely under this video card and I therefore want to increase my video card. I figured the Voodoo 3 would be a good call but need some advice on the CPU drain on the P I 100 Mhz with 48 Mb of RAM. I cannot afford to buy a new system being out of work so I am looking at increasing the display to the max given the hardware I have. P.S.: A new machine will more than likely set me back R7000 whereas a video card will only be R950 so it is the lesser of the two. > 2. I have never seen a PCI geoforce, and Pentium systems never had AGP to my > recollection. > 3.
