[SGVLUG] OT: video card

[Harold Totten]

Thanks Tom.
After fiddling with it, I went straight to Fry's.  A sales person escorted
me to the video card section.   She  showed me the  cheapest  one - $50.
I've been to 3 other stores.  The ATI you found looks pretty  good; $25 +
freight.  I'll go back to CompUSA and see if the $35 will work.
Are there 2 incompatible PCI standards?
Still willing to try second-hand.
Harold
