The Test
In recent times, choosing a motherboard cannot be completely determined by a Winstone score. Now, many boards come within one Winstone point of each other and therefore the need to benchmark boards against each other falls. Therefore you shouldn't base your decision entirely on the benchmarks you see here, but also on the technical features and advantages of this particular board, seeing as that will probably make the greatest difference in your overall experience.

i have system with- intel celeron 500mhz cpu
- pine technologies (tls 622-23) motherboard
the motherboard details are -
- sis 620/5595 chipset based
- 3 x 256 mb pc 133 sdram
- 3 PCI and 2 ISA slots
- onboard 64 bit 3D AGP
- max 8 MB frame buffer memory shared from system memory
450 w smps
now if i want to disable onboard AGP and add a PCI external graphics card, is it possible to do so today in 2010 with this old configuration from year 1999?
if yes, thanks for suggestions about the names of compatible graphics card available today.
