I was just wondering about the AGP issue with motherboards with the MVP3 chipset. I got a K6-2 system from my friend and it is currently running it on the FIC VA-503+.
I wanted to upgrade the video card in the system, does anyone of you know which video card will work with it perfectly? I know the Voodoo3 3000 should work, but what about AGP2x cards like ATi Fury and Diamond Viper2?
Anyone know please let me know! Thanks
Which video card is best on MVP3 chipset motherboard?
Avoid the TNT/TNT2 cards (not sure about geforce), avoid the ati rage 128 based cards too (unless you like funky registry errors). Viper2 just causes problems, savage4 might work, g400 is a no-no, and i740 based cards are a joke on it too (if you can even get it to post).
V3 might work, V4's will (only time I used a V4 was on my neighbors system with the Mvp3 chipset. As will the riva128/ZX cards (v330). You might also want to look at some of the older ATI rage pro turbo type cards

I will focus mainly on DVD performance, that's why I need a card with TV-out.
I am running the system on a TNT2 Vanta right now, I just have to disable a few settings in the bios. It runs perfectly, no crash at all looping 3dmark2000. Unfortunately the Vanta do not have TV-out...
Any other suggestion?
