ArcadeVGA - bad boards?
pointdablame:
Well if you wind up not having an option for a system with an AGP slot, you can get a PCI TNT2 card on ebay for $10 or $20... or if your friend has a lot of old PC stuff like I do, he might just have an older PCI vid card lying around.
If you can get a system with an AGP slot though, that's definitely the option I would recommend simply for ease of use.

I just found out that the onboard card on the system (Compaq Presario 5155) is an ATI Rage LT Pro AGP 2X. Which is listed in the supported DOS vid cards for AdvanceMAME. (Which I need to run for an Arcade monitor, I imagine.) So now I am just hoping to find out how hard it will be to get it up and running with this vid card, asking around etc. One thing I don't get is - I guess DOS text mode displays fine on a 19" arcade monitor?? It would have to, since when you power on the machine, there obviously aren't any special 15 kHz drivers loaded in. I don't want to damage my monitor every time I power on my machine. Well, thanks.

I 2nd the motion to use a JPAC. It's like a safety measure. You will never damage the monitor since the JPAC prevents "bad" signals.
