. ""What about the issue of the graphics card (or onboard chip) needing to support the DOS VESA video modes used by Fractint?"" Any P2 or P3 box as is (as was) will have a graphics card from that era, they all work(ed) fine for me - never had a problem. It seems that the older cards actually give better video options with FractInt than the newer ones - I have noticed many times. Obviously new cards are better in all respects, I think it is a DOS/compatibility issue. I just bought a state-of-the-art video card (circa 2003) for $10 and it gives me 1600 res option. As for chips - I have determined that Athlon64 works better than Intel P4. P2 and P3 work the best of all. .
