'm building a Pentium 2 system out of some bits that I have lying around. I don't need this system really but have a hole in my line up where a P2 should be.... plus I just like building and setting up old computers!!!
The processor is a lowly 333Mhz with a 66Mhz FSB in a Gigabyte GA-BX2000+ motherboard with 256 Mb PC100 SDRAM. I was planning to run windows 95 or 98 on it.
I was wondering if anyone could advise on the best graphics card to use from my selection (see pic).
This is the only P2 system I have ever owned and I kinda skipped this period when growing up so have no idea of the best combinations. I have two voodoo 2 12MB card that are going in and i'd like to use another PCI card with them. The PCI cards that I have available from my box of junk are:
Tseng ET6000
Trident TGUI9440 ( I think it's safe to disregard this one!)
S3 Virge DX
Matrox Mystique 220
Edit: just noticed I had forgotten to add the Geforce FX5200 to the list, I think this would be overkill here?
Or alternatively i have a Voodoo 3 3000 that I was considering, it's AGP but 3dFX cards are cool! I think this would be weird with the Voodoo 2's though?
What do you think? Thanks in advance for your help!
