Which would be better in your guys' infinitely knowledgeable opinions
for running N2, ICR2,(and maybe Quake):
These are the only two choices I have.
1. STB 2MB Powergraph 64 PCI video acclerator
or
2. Matrox MGA Ultima 2MB VRAM VL-video bus card
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
Please read the previous message
None of the above...Try one of the Rendition-based cards (Intergraph,
Sierra, Canopus)...These 3 have an optimized version of ICR2, and
all (AFAIK) have an optimized ver of Quake...One other card, the
3D Blaster-PCI from Creative Labs would also be a good choice
(Rendition-based), but it doesn't have ICR2-3D. :(

Do yourself a favor, Wait a while and upgrade the motherboard and CPU.
Don't bother buying a new video card now. You'll just throw it away when
you do get a net motherboard anyhow. New Mboards all use PCI cards, Not
VLB's. Your VLB will be going to the Smithsonian soon.
