Re: about PCI video cards...

I see somebody mentioned the geforce 4400mx to you. That would be a good
card for you, although finding them in pci is going to be very hard. Newegg
is out and has only AGP, as do alot of other sites I looked at. But here is
one for $40. It is the only one they got. The other 25 or so cards they have
are AGP.
