"You can get a good mid-level Pentium2 motherboard & a PII-233MMX chip
for around $500, (wholesale here in the USA).   This will give you AGP
support for your graphics card...  and there are a great many
AGP video cards available, they are the fastest thing available.
Be sure you get the 440LX AGP chipset on your motherboard."

Like Lance, I will also be looking to build a system to be used with
graphics. Could you please tell me what AGP is.  Is the 440LX AGP
chipset uniquely good for graphics?  I was considering the TX chipset
but am not certain of the difference.

Thanks for clarifying,

Bridgett Perry
