I recently bought an Intel D805 Dual Core with a basic Intel PCIe mobo with ATI 300 chipset. Everything else I have is aging Athlon AGP gear and works well enough with BeOS. Funnily enough BeOS installed straight onto this new Intel board and booted in safe mode. The graphics, networking, sound are unsupported but I will likely look for a PCIe card that must be twin head and useable for BeOS and other OSes. I already use an ATI AGP twin head card on the Athlon and would like something similar on PCIe.

Looking at taking chance on a GeForce 6200 LE or 7300 GS in the $50++ range for 2d work only. Any thoughts most welcome
