I am not a gamer but I read so much that 8mB video memory is obsolete these days; so I bought an AGP Creative CT5832-NVidia RIVA TNT2 with 32mB RAM.. I haven't tried it because it doesn't boot on that machine so I'm wondering if it would be worth pursuing further.. (It works on another machine so it's not defective; possibly a compatibility issue.) The subject machine has a Duron 1300 CPU and 512mB PC100 system memory.. Heretofore it seems to work fine except I think the presentation could be better, but not really sure.. Running Slackware v10.2, 2.6.13, xorg. Any comments?? Of course my Net searching brings up; "the more memory the better." Maybe someone can point to a more detailed tutorial??
