P.S. Get Radeon 9600 pro/xt from a good brand. For Pentium 3 - about the best option.
I used 9600 pro and xt as well on my Tualatin P3 1.4 ghz *overclocked to 1.5, for some reason it ran very poorly on my computer, plus drivers for 98 se were terrible. I tried to love it, but 6600 GT for XP system destroyed it in every possible way, even 98 drivers are in similar leage, not very good, not terrible either.
In the days of Windows XP itself, the 6600 was a great choice, I used one myself.
But in the 6x00 series, something changed in the driver model, so some games from the late 98 Windows era just have a black screen.
Therefore, if I were to choose between 6600 and 4mx440 now, I would choose the latter.
P.S. 4mx440 is considered almost the best choice for super socket 7 here. Although, at the time of relevance, who paid attention to this video card?
