I'm currently in the process of building a Socket 7 system and at the moment I've got most everything I want but the video card. Here's the current specs:
PCChips M570 (I know this is a Super Socket 7 motherboard, but I'm not really looking for yet another AGP-class system)
Intel Pentium MMX @200MHz
32MB PC-66 SDRAM (I removed the weird 64MB stick that it originally had in it, and put an 83MHz max 32MB stick in it, its age suits the system nicely)
Intel i740 AGP (placeholder for video card)
Creative Labs SoundBlaster Vibra 16C ISA (This is coming in the mail at some point)
3Com EtherLink III ISA
2GB IDE HDD
24x CD-ROM
3.5" 1.44MB FDD
Nearly every part in this system has a manufacturing year of 1997, even the SB16 I'm getting, as well as the EtherLink III. I'm looking for a decent PCI video card for the time, as the system came with a Trident 9440-3 with bad add-on VRAM (idiot previous user inserted one of the chips wrong, causing it to get very hot, though the card itself still works). I have a feeling that there are much better PCI video cards than this available for me to use in this system, so I'm wondering what PCI video cards would suit this system well.
Where am I?
