Hi,
I have an Emachines/300 (celeron) with built in ATI II/C AGP chip which supports 1024*768. I don't have an AGP slot but have a PCI slot available. I can not buy a new PC at this time, thus upgrading my graphics card is the only solution.
I have purchased a 21" monitor which supports 1600*1200 @85Hz. I am not a gamer but I am running applications such as Matlab and Mathematica, which can generate complex graphics such as surface plots, etc. I am running both Linux 7.1 and Windows 2000 on this machine.
Given all these what is the best PCI card I can get? I can spend max 150 dollars. Thank you for your precious time.
(note: I know matrox G450 has a pci version. But I saw G450 from HP and Compaq. I don't know what the difference is. I also heard GeForce2 MX and GTS but too confused between the two. Besides there are many card makers - have no idea which one is preferred?).
