ummm,

Just my opinion, although I suspect that it will be reflected by others...

1. A P100 will have nowhere near the power to supply a geoforceII or III.,.
and if you can aford one, why not update the whole system.
2. I have never seen a PCI geoforce, and Pentium systems never had AGP to my
recollection.
3. I am surprised that you don't find the P100 and ram to be the bottleneck
as opposed to the video card.
4. Is this a joke?  I don't mean to be nasty, but this sounds like a joke..
There is very little benefit in putting a geoforce on a P100, (even were it
possible)
5. are you sure this isn't a joke??  :-)

>From the testing I have seen, you need something like a 800mhz
PIII/duron/athlon to
get the most from a Geoforce.. the bus/cpu/ram all have to feed the card,
and a P100
couldn't do that to any great effect.. get a voodoo banshee or something if
you want
to inprove your video, don't waste your money on a geoforce...


This really feels like a joke ???

Subject: [newbie] Video cards


Am just about to get myself an updated video card. I currently have a
Trident Tgui 9440 1 Mb card running on a P I 100 Mhz and it just doesn't
cut it in most cases.

I am looking at either getting a Geforce 3 or Voodoo 3 32 Mb card and I
wonder if there was any preference to either one as I currently have to
dual boot between Win95 and Mandrake 8.

Which one does mandrake already have the drivers for? etc.
