WTF happened to EasyMAMEcab website?
Ummon:
It's a PCIe Nvidia 6200; XP SP3; Billabs arcade multisync.
If you notice in the soft15 thread, low clocks are basically a matter of drivers, not hardware. That may've been different before '01 or 2, but not since then.
So interface isn't an issue, cos (again, note in the soft15 thread), many people are using PCIe cards.
Now, compatibility can be an issue, and it seems pretty much anything Nvidia (up to what the docs say, 6800) will work, but ATI is hit an miss. Older ones seem to work just fine, depending on your mobo an all.
Pixel clock (um, best to look that up) - horizontal clock (scanrate in khz) - vertical clock (refresh in hz). Look up my tutorial on the video/monitor board. That thing should be stickied.

DOS.

crt pc monitor.

device_video AUTO

look up the values in your monitor manual. if unsure, use the lowest value for your display type as provided by advcfg.exe. i use a pc monitor so my setting is for VGA screen:
device_video_clock 5-150 / 31.5 / 55-130

All,
Thanks for looking at this post and your help so far. :)
Ummon,
Is this the Nvidia card you are using?

I checked and it is on the AdvMAME supported Linux video cards list. It appears this card is available to purchase new, so now I have a starting point. Thanks! (Now to get some green beer...) :cheers:

What is the big deal?
Just buy a stock PCI card and that will solve your issue.

Sweet jesus, yes, that's it (actually, mine's only an LE, I think - 128mb) - but don't buy it there! Ebay, man, ebay. Mine was used.
