So, along with hard drives & memory, I also picked up a pair of old video cards when I took a bunch of PCs to the household hazardous waste drop-off center.
I'm having trouble identifying the exact models of the cards based on their markings and, more importantly, I'm unsure what benefit I'd have in MAME (if any) by switching from my older video card to one of these slightly-less-older cards.
The attached pics show what I have & the 2 options.
Per support.dell.com, my PC was made in August 2001.
Alternate #1 seems to have been made in September 2001, so it's surely better (plus, it's got a fan, so I figure it's faster...)
Alternate #2 has very few markings, but it has a fan PLUS fancy heat sinks PLUS a digital video output next to the analog video output, suggesting it's even newer.
Can a PC wiz recommend which card I ought try switching to, if at all?
Thanks!
