brought the following to our attention:

All Geforce cards except the 7800GS, 7950GT, 6600, and early 6200 will work
in an AGP 1.0 slot with 3.3V signaling.

Geforce4 doesn't support DX9 features. You'll need a card from the Geforce
FX5 or Geforce 6 series if you care about DX9 support. As a minimum you'll
want a FX5700 or 6200. A stripped down (i.e. cheap) 6800GS or 6800XT will
be better.

All good info here. Was at the show yesterday and saw GF2 cards that
didn't even have a heat sink on chip. Other unidentified nVidia cards
with 32MB and chip-fans. Most were $10, $12 or $15. Will keep looking
around. Here's a link on AGP slot compatibility.

I must do more homework here. Let's state the issue once again: Looking
for an upgraded nVidia card to replace OEM 32MB Riva TNT2 in the form
of a Diamond Viper 770, in an AGP 1.0 slot, on dual-Xeon UW-SCSI main-
board... possibly with 64MB or 128MB of VRAM.
