So now that I have my Shuttle Hot 951P board my PCI TNT doesn't fit, it's to long so I'm forced to switch to AGP and I'm missing cards since i moved no idea what happened to them but they are gone. So I'm left with these options.

Radeon 7000 64mb DDR
Radeon 7500 64mb DDR
Geforce 256 SDR
Geforce 4 MX440
Geforce FX 5200

Now I also discovered that I was wrong on the K6-3 i had, its not a + its a K6-3 380 which explains why it won't overclock beyond 400mhz. So what gpu would you use, I'm leary of using the 256 or 7500 simply becuase the high AGP power draw of these cards.

In PCI my options that fit are horrible
S3 Trio64+
Matrox Millinium
ATI Mach64 PCI

non fitting PCI cards
Creative TNT Blaster
Saphire 9200SE
Geforce FX5500
Geforce FX5200

I will be looking for a TNT2 or TNT1 AGP card in a few months, I'd look for a Voodoo 3 but the prices are out of my budget these days

IMO the MX440 and FX5200 are the best in the list. However, there are many variants of both the MX440 and the Fx5200, maybe you can benchmark them and see what gets you better scores. 😀
Maybe the FX5200 has DVI and that should also be taken into consideration if you have an LCD.

Both are 128bit, the fx 5200 is a Quadro fx500 modded into an fx5200. On a k6 neither will reach their potential I'm just concerned about not blowing up the agp slot.
