My nephew came to own an FIC PAG-2130 with integrated video. It seems to be limited to 8MB (shared) memory. He needs 16MB to play a particular game. If he had any $$ he wouldn't have THIS MBoard!

Any suggestions on a PCI Vid Bd??

Can it support AGP?
Because PCI cards costs more than AGP cards, due to their rare use.
If it doesn't support, I think the highest PCI card so far is the MX420, but I could be wrong. But even such card would truly be a crappy performer, bearing 10 times less bandwidth due to PCI 33MHZ.

It's up to you, the card will provide more performance, but it will cost a bit more than an AGP one, and will definitly suck in performance compared to an AGP one.

When buying an AthlonXP, please make sure the bus is at 133MHZ, or you will get a lower speed!

Almost any 16MB PCI card will perform similar to almost any other 16MB PCI card, due to the limits of PCI. Get some sort of Radeon, TNT2, MX, whatever's cheapest.
