As the title says, i recently got my hands on the PIII-S of 1.4 and just today i bought a compaq presario 5000 (model 5315) with the mighty TR100 motherboard (s370, tualatin support, i815ep chipset iirc) and honestly i have no idea which gpu could be the best suited for the cpu and system/s i want to use with said pc (Win98se and maybe a dualboot with either WinXp or 2000).
For reference, the machine will also be paired with a 2.0 usb card, a sound card (idk wich one but im between an Aureal Vortex 2 or Sb Live!), and a 3com nic, also with sd-ide storage.
I mostly want to play with very late 90s games and newer ones targeted to newer systems, such as Call of Duty 1, GTA Vice City, C&C Generals, etc
The current ones i have ond disposal for this are:
- Geforce 6200 (256mb and the 512mb)
- Geforce FX 5200 (128mb)
- Geforce FX 5200 Pci (128mb)
- Geforce FX 5500 (256mb)
- Geforce MX 440 (64mb)
- Geforce MX 4000 (64mb)
- Radeon 7000 (?)
- Radeon 9550 (256mb)
I have other cards such as an Matrox G450 and a Voodoo 3 3000 but those may fit beter in an older system like my p3 600 slot 1 machine (talking about the voodoo) rather than the Tualatin
Im open to suggestions, i want to use something cheap for the time being, but fast enough to make the tualatin shine
Also, i found this reference for the mobo: https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/lite-on-tr100
