Help! -need a graphics card from someone

[beet1e]

I've just finished refurbishing a PC for a friend. It needed a new HDD, and I put in a IBM 120GXP 40GB. Had to flash update the BIOS to activate support for large drives, otherwise all OK. Installed Windows ME - OK.

One slight problem - the graphics card is a ATI Technologies Mach64, c1995 Ancient. I went to their website to find a suitable driver for it, because right now it's using the standard Microsoft driver. I found this list of drivers, but was dismayed to note that this card is not supported in Windows ME. My friend will use the system for games, but nothing so exotic as Aces High. So I wondered if anyone who has just replaced an older graphics card with one of the new sooper-dooper ones might consider selling me their old one.

Tnx,
Beet1e

take a trip to ebay perhaps beetle.

I will have a GF2 MX AGP soon, but probably not for another month.  If you are still in need of one then, let me know.

Does mobo have a AGP slot or do you need a PCI card?

[beet1e]

Skurj - very much appreciated, but I think we're too far apart.
Not sure about ebay, but over here we have a thing called Loot. However- my girlie has an old 3DRAGE2 - should be good enough.

staga - you posted seconds before me The mobo has an AGP.

Hiya's

Got a mobo here with an amd K6-2 400 chip in it if anyone wants it in the UK i can ship it gratis also a cheap sb clone pci card+driver and a small 2.1gb hd (think thats the size)

I have an old S3 trio vidcard but it's a darn isa slot affair if that helps

Also a Taisol HSF (upto 1.2g) if anyone wants it that's gratis too

Have Fun

If your friend is not going to run any 3-D games that card should be fine thought I would try to find old second hand TNT or TNT2 card, used GF2MX cards should be quite cheap too.

Thanks for the help, guys. I had given my girlfriend an old 3D Rage2 which she had not used. She brought that back and we tried it and it seems OK. It's not worth spending any money on that PC - it is so old - 166MHz I'm just going to get an extra 64MB DIMM (£12 = 17Є, US$17) bringing to 96MB the total memory. A 128K DIMM would have been £33.
