What is wrong with a Riva TNT 2 pci or agp?

Very strong cards , and way overpowered for dos / win95 era pc s.

For win 98 , either a Geforce 4 mx 440 , or a geforce 4 ti 4200.

Nothing wrong with those cards at all. Certainly more than adequate. Do you feel that they are the best cards?

depnds for what. but for a win 95 machine deffo overkill.

I had a PCI Riva128 in my socket 7 K6-2+ Win98 machine for a while and it was great as a DOS only card, but the 3D was pretty awful. Now I'm using a PCI MX400 and love it - MX440 or TNT2 M64 are also great options. They have the same great DOS compatibility and speed as the Riva128 but better 3D.

NVPatch allows Univbe to work with these newer cards too which is handy. PCI versions of these cards are getting more expensive too but they're usually cheaper and easier to find than the Riva128.
