Happy computer.
Ok, so maybe not fully happy. A bit slow on the startup, both of X itself and of any given program.
As a viable alternative to getting a whole new computer (which is what I'd have to do), this card looks like a pretty nice deal. A GeForce 7-series, in AGP, for under a hundred dollars? I discovered just now that the GeForce 2 doesn't even have a stencil buffer. This makes my graphics homework pretty damn difficult to do from home, when just about all the cool algorithms use either the stencil buffer or full shaders.
I think I also need a memory expansion, but that'd require knowing how many pins this board takes.
