Hi guys, I acquired a Gateway Slot 1 motherboard (a variant of the Intel WS440BX board) for cheap a while ago and got a Pentium II 400 MHz cpu for it, and now I am slowly acquiring the addition parts, but I'm not sure what I should get for a video card, I don't want to spend a ton of money, maybe $30, but maybe I don't really need to spend that much for this build. The giant case just happen to be really cheap thanks to a local second hand computer shop. Thanks for any recommendations.

GF4 MX440 would probably be ideal. Very cheap and easy to find. If you do want to spend, a Voodoo3 3000 would be nice.

I just realized my other "vintage" machine, a Dell Dimension 4400 (Pentium 4 Northwood) Windows XP, has this card installed when I got it, might be better just to take that one and upgrade the Pentium 4 machine to something better....
