The computer I use mainly for 9x-era games is a Dell Dimension 4300S desktop with a 1.6GHz P4 and 512MB SDRAM, it happily dual-boots Windows 98SE and 2000 Professional SP4 at the moment.

This machine originally had an ATI Rage 128 Ultra 32MB video card, which (going by prior experience) had stability issues with the crippled Dell drivers I used with it, it currently has an nVidia Geforce FX5200 (Dell P118) 128MB video card which I thought would be good enough for the job, but from what I've heard the FX-series cards are terrible even for older games, although the two games I've used (MTM2 & Fly! Piper and Cessna in San Francisco) ran noticeably better on there.

So now I'm looking for suggestions on low-profile AGP video cards that would be good enough for playing DirectX/OpenGL games from 1996-2001 and has good driver support for Windows 98/ME/2000, It also needs to support a VGA monitor in any possible way (either DMS-59, DVI-I, or regular VGA) so I can use a CRT monitor with it.

What do you think? Stick with the current FX5200 card or suggest a different card?
