I stuck a 1.2 gig celeron powerleap kit on my old bx6 2.0 MB. To my amazement it worked great(tripled my FR on CV deck)......for about an hour:). Then, I think, my old TnT 2 went bye bye. Anything 3D related, like AH :(, is an instant lock up. This is no big thing. I was going to get a new Graphics card anyway.
Looking around the powerleap web site I descovered a little advertised fact. There are compatibilty essues with nvidia based cards. So I am looking for an ATI card. I'm not going to run anything fancy on it. Just games. Can anyone recommend a stable, no frills, ATI card? For an AGP slot.

but my favorite is still the Nvida / Gforce. Dont know if ATI's going to be as good on drivers.

You might look at the ATI 7500 Radeon series easymo. Not sure what you want to spend. The 8500 is a solid board.
Driver wise, the current Radeon drivers are pretty solid. I have not found a game they did not handle nicely. Whether OpenGL or D3D based they seem to be solid.
Heck, as far as stability goes, ATI seems to be doing drivers better than NVidia is right now.
