Yes, it's a very old second-hand card. I don't need current high-speed

cards and all kinds of digital connectors, I just need simple 3D

capability from time to time, it's much more important that the graphics

is passive, than super fast and with two fans ;). Music has got the

highest priority here, it's nice if I could use the same computer for

animation and video, if I like to do that, no FPS, home entertainment,

overclocking etc.. A video composite output might be nice too. Even my

AGP NVIDA from the stone age would be good enough, if it wouldn't come

with a fan and if my current board would have an AGP slot. When I bought

my mobo I thought that I need HDMI etc., but I was mistaken.
