[BLUG] AGP compat

[great shamer]

Hello,

Thanks for the advice.  It was precisely what I was looking for.  The don't 
think that the benchmarks leave much room for comparison...the geforce blew 
the voodoo away.

Do you have a preference for a manufacturer?  I have decided to get the 
geforce.  I have been using the same video card since 1995 (a 1mb 2d 
Diamond) so anything will be a tremendous change.  Thanks for your help.

Ethan
