Hi everyone,
I'm building a Pentium-era machine, and I'm on the lookout for a PCI or ISA video card.
I found a whole bunch of ISA cards on eBay, all from the Ukraine. Apparently someone in the Ukraine had a truckload of vintage ISA video cards. Are those listings for real, and are any of them any good, for example this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Video-card-ISA-16-bit … aIAAOSwKtVWxbv0 ?
I could also get a PCI video card, i.e. this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ATI-109-32100-20-PCI- … HsAAOSwPc9W0kX3 or this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/STB-PCI-VIDEO-Card-EX … 7AAAOSwQYZWzc7v
Or I could just get the ATI Rage XL card from Amazon for $14 here: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=se … =pci+video+card
I have no idea what to do here. Could someone recommend to me what is my best budget-friendly option for PCI or ISA VGA cards? I'm not wanting to do any serious 3d gaming on this machine, it's mostly for word processing and early 90's platformer gaming (although I would want it to run something like DOOM fairly/acceptably well).
