Deskpro EN video card

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.compaq (More info?)

I have a Rage Pro Turbo AGP 4Mb graphics card and would like to upgrade it.
It seems only certain cards will fit but I don't know which ones. Any help
would be appreciated.

Thanks
John

Ben,

Thanks for the info. Have been on Ebay and found only an Appian Gemini 2D
card. I need a 3D card for playing kids games - nothing too much, either in
power or expense.

If you have got an AGP card that will fit the Deskpro EN, I'd much
appreciate it.

Regards
John
p.s. couldn't send reply direct, kept being returned.
