Anyone know if the GeForce cards are AGP1.0 or AGP2.0 compliant? I was 
thinking of upgrading my ancient 266Mhz Gateway with a 766Mhz Celeron chip (I 
know - still slow, still old) - but in reading up on it I found that there 
were problems when using BOTH the Celeron 766Mhz chip on an Intel 440LX 
motherboard and a GeForce video card, since at the time the article was 
written, the NVidia chipset was AGP1.0 compliant. The article stated there 
were no problems using a VooDoo card.

Not that I have any idea what that means - but I would hate to go for a Slot 1 
CPU upgrade and heatsink only to have to replace a recently upgraded video 
card.

Any other recommendations for upgrading an ancient beast at a reasonable cost?
