A little while back I bought an Intel AL440LX Slot 1 Pentiunm II AGP Motherboard for $1 on ebay(+17 shipping, urk). At the time I really couldn't justify grabbing a CPU for it(got a wedding and a honeymoon to pay for), but luckily for me I just found a pair of PIIs in a forgotten box in the back of my closet! I thought I threw these out ages ago but apparently not. I'm excited because one of them is the exact PII I had decided I wanted for a retro win95/DOS build. Now the motherboard also has an onboard Yamaha OPL Sound Card, which I understand is great for DOS.
Moving on.
I've had this ATI RAGE128 Pro in my parts bin for ages:
(I very, very stupidly threw out a voodoo5 but kept this piece of junk).
Anyway, I know its from 1999 and is not "period accurate", but I'm fine with using a somewhat newer card. Would this be a good choice for the build? This might be the oldest AGP card in my inventory, I think I kept it because I thought the dual fans made it somehow special.
