I have just came across a working НP Nvidia Quаdro4 100NVS 64MВ АGР 4х on a local retro site for $10 and reserved it, thinking about getting it for an early/mid win98 era games. A possible rig i could fit it in, would be a 440BX or i815. So having a few questions...
0. Is it worth getting at all?
1. What cards is it comparable to of it's time period?
2. What games can it run on, given the platforms specified above?

Is there anything else I need to know before I buy it?

I never heard about this card before. Please, correct me if I'm wrong but from the description it looks like a slowed down GeForce 4 MX.

Depending on where you're located you could find a "normal" MX 440 for that price.

A GeForce MX440 is a budget 2002 card, so more a late windows 98 card (XP came out in 2001 but was still not widespread in 2002).
Even if MX440 was a budget card, it's a good and affordable card for this era.

Nvidia Quаdro4 NVS 100 is GeForce 4 MX 440 SE, i.e. DDR memory with 64-bit bus.

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

Well some sources say it's 128-bit bus, some say it's 64

If it's worse than mx440, then, too bad - Ima cancel my reserve.

PCI version is 64-bit and AGP version is low profile, so it's most likely 64-bit too.
