Thanks Tom.<br>
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.<br>
Are there 2 incompatible PCI standards?<br>
Still willing to try second-hand.<br>

around the bottom shelves at Fry's -- they usually have the old/off-brand cards
in the under-20-dollar range there, most any of them should work, especially if
you had a diamond in the past.</font></span></div>

that matter, a replacement viper 330 (if you can find it) might even be in the
$20-40 range nowadays ;)</font></span></div>
