I've got my epic Pentium box here, 512MB RAM, 300Mhz Pentium, etc.. I'm about to get a new monitor that'll be 1920x1080, and I'm hoping that an older AGP card can push that under Win9x. I don't really want to stick my GeForce 6200 AGP in there, because it's about the same power as the rest of the system - it's out of place, but I know that card could do 1080p. I'm currently thinking that this GeForce Ti 4200 should be able to pull it off - it's specced for 1600x1200, and 1920x1080 is somewhere in that neighborhood total-pixel-wise (1.92mpixels vs 2.08mpixels), so it sounds reasonable to me..
Anywho I'd like to have a card with good 2D performance and good DOS performance, so the oldest would be the best, but I don't want to sacrifice native resolution as I'd like to share my new monitor between my modern box and this box.
Thoughts? I've got a wide array of cards available.
If you guys think it wiser, I could also switch this box to my Athlon setup at 600Mhz, but the Pentium is more fitting to the majority of games I'd want to run.
Edit: I'm considering a Matrox G200 card at the moment.
