Re: [TCLUG:21533] pci video cards

[<Nick.T.Reinking@supervalu.com>]

It should be noted that a 2MB ATi card will not be able to
even reach 1280x1024.

Also, those 4way PPro boards are a tough find, as they were almost
exclusively OEm machines.  Sadly, you 4 200MHz PPros w/ 256K are
slower than 2 with 512K cache.  You're more likely better off getting
that with the Providence board.  2x PPro, onboard UW SCSI, onboard
sound, onboard 10/100 ethernet, 440FX chipset - for $110.

Want a cheap PCI video at an ultra-cheap price? MPC Electronics in Eagan has a
gaylord of ATI Mach-64 PCI (2mb) cards for $8 each, discounts on multiples. Too
bad they are only open during work hours (8-5pm M-F). Last time I was there, I
bought several and all worked fine.

They also had this HUGE motherboard of unknown architecture, that seems to have
been designed to take four P-Pro chips... Anyone else seen that animal?
