Few Game related things

Alright, as it turns out that old ethernet card wasn't PCI, it was an old VLB card.

So now I have two questions to help me with this: where's a large repository of unsupported hardware drivers, and how hard is it to assign USB signals to something I can use?

And on the subject of gaming, I did find out I have an AGP slot, but I don't know what kind it is. How can I tell? Also, I remember a website that would tell you whether or not your computer was powerful enough to play certain games. Anyone know where it is?

nvidia has a page somewhere that will put your system specs against those of a database of various games. I have forgotten where it is. It might have been at their nvnews(nvidia forums) sight.

But, I wouldn't bother because your PC has a 4x AGP slot. I wouldn't bother much with games made after 2000-2001 because assuming that your AGP slot supplies the right amount of voltage to run an 8x card, you are still really limited by your CPU and RAM. Granted, a good graphics card takes a lot of load off, but if you have an old CPU and probably old PC100/PC133 RAM, your system will be a serious bottleneck on it. Time for new motherboard, CPU, RAM, graphics.
