This community is absolutely awesome! I talked with a buddy across town and he's gonna sell me a Radeon 9600 pro for like 10 bucks. He mentioned that card had 64mb of vram.

My other buddy is gonna give me a Soundblaster live card too

I've never heard of a PCI 9600 Pro - if it exists, I would like one, but I think it's more likely that your friend has an AGP 9600 Pro. A working 9600 Pro would be a good deal for ten dollars, so I would still buy it and keep it for when you get something with an AGP slot.

Here is what he has. Selling me it all for 10 bucks. Looks like agp yes

I was wondering what this 'Pinball' thing is in the first photo.. Turns out it's a 56K modem 😁

Looks like a 1st gen Radeon all in wonder to me, but yes AGP... probably disappointing vs a 9600, but still worth $10

Oh yeah definitely not doom 3 for this build. Grim fandango, Diablo 2, quake 2 stuff. Half life 1

Intel i810 can allocate a maximum of 32mb of system memory for graphics according to the docs.
There's a game compatibility list here: https://web.archive.org/web/20030804235929/ht … aming/82810.htm
Looks like you'd be better off with a PCI graphics card like the ones suggested.
