ATI Rage Pro Turbo 3D PCI VGA video card 8 MB TV out

Will this work for my mame machine.  I would be putting it in a with a 200mhz p2 and win98.

Would there be any problems I would encounter.

Check ATI's web site and ensure they have Win98 specific drivers and are fairly up to date (e.g. released at least a couple years after 98, not last shipped with 95 and just happen to "work" with 98)

Also it depends what you will be using as your program... Mame32?  Dos Mame?  AdvanceMame to an arcade monitor? To a TV ?

if you mean to run Windows or DOS MAME, then ya that card should work just fine.  Most modes will work in AdvanceMAME as well.
