John is right that a NEW video card won't work. OTOH you'll probably be able
to pick up a Tseng or S3 based card for a few marks. (I've seen vid cards in
a 10 for $25 bundle before; these fullfill the video requirements for
Appservers in a cluster perfectly!; actually they have 2 megs of RAM and
will do 1024x768x8bits fine under X)
