Video Cards et. al.



Thanks Mark. At least on my system, an AGP board does not take an 
IRQ where a PCI board does. I have had good luck with ATI in the past, 
but I want a board that will work in my system. I don't need the TV tuner 
stuff. I just want a good video board where I can use 32 bit color. The 
Mach 128 boards should really scream, but I have heard of some 
compatibility problems with some of them.
