The answer is in your first post CW grumpy because the wife is late getting out of work and we're supposed to go out for dinner. Get her a second job. This should both improve her timekeeping and provide you with the money for essential purchases!!! A further benefit will be to your self esteem

Buying a new Socket AM2 MB with 2GB of DDR2 RAM and a low-end Athlon 64 and a good PCI-E Video card will cost you less than a near-mythical decent PCI video card. Especially if that's PC3200 RDRAM rather than DDR SDRAM. PCI is long-dead as a video interface as it doesn't provide enough bandwidth
