Hardware Question

[Stephen W. Clarke]

I've been using an old HP Vectra VL (PII-266) as a monitor to keep tabs on
the systems in my rack. Recently a co-worker gave me a used 21 inch
monitor (IBM P260) to expand the visual real estate on my system. I'm
enjoying the extra desktop space but the refresh rate is driving me nuts.
(60 Hz). I'd like to upgrade the video card but don't want to buy one that
won't work. It will have to be PCI, support 1600x1200 at 85Hz and run with
the existing PSU (124W).

I tried a Radeon 9250(64-bit) that I had in the office but the system
wouldn't post with it in. I've been looking at either a Radeon 7000 (no
fan) or a Radeon 9000 (with fan).

Do any of you have recommendations?

I'm running a dual boot system of Puppy Linux and Ubuntu 7.10, but with
video cards as old as the one's I'm looking at, drivers shouldn't be an
issue.

Thanks,
Stephen
