This card is an early AGP, very common and uninteresting (in my opinion) S3 display adapter with 4MB of RAM.

GA-6VTXE PIII 1.4+512MB
Geforce4 Ti 4200 64MB
Diamond Monster 3D 12MB SLI
SB AWE64 PNP+32MB
120GB IDE Samsung/80GB IDE Seagate/146GB SCSI Compaq/73GB SCSI IBM
Adaptec AHA29160
3com 3C905B-TX
Gotek+CF Reader
MSDOS 6.22+Win 3.11/95 OSR2.1/98SE/ME/2000

Yeah that's not an ISA card. That's an early AGP card. Being S3, though, it should be pretty good for DOS games but not much else (i.e. early 3D games).
