[aclug-L] AGP vs PCI video cards

[Steven Saner <ssaner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am working on building a system based on an AMD K6-2 400. The one
element that I'm at a loss on is the video card. The motherboard that
I plan to use: FIC VA-503+ has an AGP slot.

What are peoples thoughts on AGP video cards vs. PCI cards? The
machine will not be a heavy gaming machine, but I want good support
for Linux (XFree86) and I want it to perform well with things like the
GIMP.

Also, do people have a suggested manufacture/chipset with the above in
mind?

Thanks
