I have a Dell Dimension XPX T450 in my collection, and I've just discovered it can run a much faster CPU than I thought(supposedly up to 1ghz). I have a spare 933mhz slot1 I intend to park in it, and it already has the max 768mb of RAM. This machine is also home to my fully functional Sound Blaster 16 ISA card. All around a good retro system.
This leaves me scratching my chin in thought over a good graphics card choice for this system. I already have a separate Voodoo3 build in another tower, so no need to add a second of those. Obviously I could simply slot the fastest Geforce card in my collection, but that seems too obvious.
What would be a choice for an AGP graphics card that is more interesting, unique, less common? I've got some geforce 4s and 5s lying around that aren't very impressive. I've got some Matrox cards that are extremely "meh". ATI is an option, I've got a few of those, too.
What else is out there for some value of "charmingly unconventional"?
