Haven't heard of problems with the 815; just the 810 (slow) and the 820's (lots of problems and will be pulling them out).

No, thanks for the head up sdtech
Time to do some more research I see.

Yes, thanks Train. I understand now. Can't chew gum and walk at the same time. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I sure am glad you guys know what all those numbers mean. I am beginning to understand why you would want certain slots and numbers of them.
https://discussions.virtualdr.com/Thanks bistro,
Then the PCI Modem would be a good thing. Wouldn't want something that would become extinct. (got one of those already https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ )
Spent last night tweaking the Prophet II MX card--managed to raise the benchmark score over 580 points. There's a slick little freeware utility called NvMax that has a lot of tweaks for the card--sits in the system tray--works very well. Also overclocked it slightly. If ya'll get that card, I'll post the NvMax settings that seem to work for my system as far as maximizing the performance.
HUH? Wuts this all about?

Well, Viper! Speak of the devil ! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I was just looking at the video cards. Ok call me a stinge... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ even selfish.... but is there any reason to not spend half as much on a 32MB video card ?
My kids will never know the difference. I will delete this if you try to email and tell them I said that!
What does (bare card) mean?
EDIT:

Intel Pentium II, AMD-K6-2 or compatible CPU

QOH: recommend not skimping on the video card. One can have a great system otherwise, but if it's a poor vid card, it's really all for nothing. Believe me, after a little while, you would kick yourself for not spending a little more for a quality card. Most of the good ones are averaging around 150. Anything well below that, I would take a step back and sniff the air...

I see four listed. Which one did you get ?
32MB PROPHET2 MX 4X AGP W/B VIDHE100 31 $120.00
32MB DUAL DISPLAY VIDEO AGP W/B VIDHE103 10 $129.00
32MB PROPHET2 MX 4X AGP VIDHE101 6 $145.00
32MB PROPHET2 DUAL DISPLAY VIDEO 4X AGP VIDHE102 16 $159.00

Trying to determine why the big diff between number 1 and 3. (You don't really need the dual display models unless you have two monitors and need that kind of setup). That $120 for number 1 sounds just a little low---sure it's the Hercules Prophet II MX? (If so, snatch it up---good price).
There are other brands of GeForce II MX cards out there. Some good, some not so good.
32MB PROPHET2 MX 4X AGP W/B VIDHE100 31 $120.00
I looked in the HELP page, to see what that meant:
What does White Box mean ?
A product is sold in a plain box as opposed to a retail box. Products shipped as White Box come with necessary software such as drivers. White Box often does not include extended software bundles and other promotional materials usually shipped with the retail version unless specified by us.
Kinda OEMy sounding, huh? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I visited http://us.hercules.com/
https://discussions.virtualdr.com/I am very dissapointed. They misspelled a word on their fancy web page.
...tought? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/hmmmmm https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
EDIT:
https://discussions.virtualdr.com/oops! I mean -->disappointed

Q_O_H
Thank you for the list. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
That list of vid cards saves me some time.
The shock is when you read $130
and get there it reads $310 and they say typo https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

I was using pricewatch to find out how much the card would be. The only place listed for reasonable ones was microxpress. The others were hundreds. I'm still digging.
They ought to have to be held to it, even if it is a typo !
Sounded like a German accent possibly, created the graphics at the hercules site ? My German teacher in H.S. used to say words like that. turd = third. We, of course, got a big kick outta that. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Unst you half a problum mein Frau? Nein? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ I'm here you unfortunate people just long enough to type this and ask you look at my post on 98. 'Tis strange but I almost think Mosaic was involved also. Be back in 20min. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

What about the G450 Dual HD 32M? What do you know about it.
Yes, I would like the dual head set Up , I believe as I run multi windows open at times.
Like now.
EDIT: How is this for a can do list
This does not look bad either
