I've had a quick look at the capacitors but they look fine, I've just switched to a new corsair power supply to see if was the power supply but its exactly the same. I've also upped it to 2.1v but it still wont boot with the motherboard cache enabled, i had a quick look on ebay at getting another …

I used to run Indy with a K6-2 and caches disabled (usually for audio detection). I'd lean towards general stability issues. Any problems with other titles?

I have an IBM Aptiva with a 500MHz K6-2 and, sadly, SiS onboard graphics. I want to add a proper graphics card but since there's no AGP slot I'm limited to PCI offerings. What would be a good card for this system? I was thinking a TNT or TNT2 but the majority of those I find on eBay seem to be AGP …

Elsa Gladiac 511 PCI Picture quality is ok, bit slower then other GeForce 2`s but no blurry video. Diamond Viper V550 PCI 16Mb -> TNT1 Also good Picture Quality, combined with a V2 Card maybe.

The card that you can find and that runs the games you want to play. If all the games you want to play require a much better graphics card, then it seems this system will not be of much use to you.

Elsa Gladiac 511 PCI Picture quality is ok, bit slower then other GeForce 2`s but no blurry video. I have this graphics card, VGA output quality is very good indeed - my other GF2MX cards from Leadtek etc. are noticeably blurrier. They all have annoying video BIOS quirks though, some games that use …

Anything, even a SiS PCI card, would improve performance hugely as it would reduce the memory bottleneck on CPU due to integrated VGA. As for what the ideal solution would be - it depends on what you want to run. For DOS, VESA compatibility is key. A good-quality S3 card (868, 968, Virge or Trio) …
