I can relate. I, too, have only a PCI bus to work with. I had planned to change out my mobo for one with an AGP bus, but now that I know I can get a pretty good PCI card... ahhhhhh! I can't make up my mind! BTW, I currently own a Voodoo 3 3000 PCI 16MB, will the 3D Prophet 2 perform better? Will it run fairly intense games @ 50+ FPS? My Voodoo 3 chokes on games like "Undying" (avg 19 fps!) even with all the video settings set as low as possible.
