Fair enough. Glad we agree!

We do. Thanks for clarifying. I reiterate and definitely would pick AGP over PCI.

I didn't quote you.

Huh? Now its you who doesn't know who you are arguing with.

I was referring to your comment but talking to Lex who quoted me.

Frick said:
but if the point is a "nice" retro computer, finding a cool AGP card is gonna cost a lot more than literally any random PCI card.

That's an absolute, blanket statement and like all absolute blanket statements, its wrong. There are several AGP cards on eBay for under $20. I even see a few for $9.99. Heck, here's a brand new AGP card from Amazon for $10. It even has a digital output.

So clearly, with careful research, affordable cards of either type can be found easily.

Or someone messing around with ... I'm gonna say 29+ years old hardware (which is 1996!)), which is what OP is doing.

Fixed that for you(no offense intended). The 440LX was released in 1996 and that board came within a year or so there-after with the latest BIOS update being Aug 98.

@ppanickk
Can you take some photo's with a phone and attach them here? Let's take a look to make sure all is well with that board.

ISO

I think you mean ISA.

Bill_Bright · 2024-12-28T21:45:00+0000

Actually I did mean ISO Bus. Those of us involved in "systems integration" (the interfacing of 2 or more dissimilar systems) depended on ISO standards for intercommunications between systems. But ISA is a good, perhaps more familiar example too.

Sure. Please give me a couple of days and will get this sorted.
