[TriLUG] PCI graphics card recommendation

[Jason Evans]

Glenn,

I used a Geforce 440 MX PCI card for a while.  In the days of the Geforce 3
and 4, the MX was the "budget" card, but it worked fine and at the time, I
didn't have a AGP slot either and I know it came in the PCI variety.  It
could even play games like Enemy Territory, Bzflag, and Counterstrike with
it.
