Your typical Pentium box has 16-bit ISA slots and PCI slots (I know early ones only have ISA) - what's the best video card, and video card bus, to use on these. I'd imagine that PCI cards are much faster, but there could be other factors besides clock speed. Example - Card "A" on ISA might have superior 2D speed and feel snappier under Windows, DOS, and 2D DOS games, even if Card "B" on PCI is faster at 3D games. Is there a disparity like that, or are PCI cards just faster all-around?
I have an S3 Virge PCI card I was thinking of tossing into a 100Mhz Pentium box - do you think this will provide enough kick for anything the rest of the system can do without bottlenecking it?
Aside from that specific case, what's the best card all-around, the best for 3D (Duke3d/Quake/etc.) and the best for 2D (assuming there's a disparity between 2D and 3D speed on various cards as mentioned as a possibility above)?
