For any old graphics card just get it from eBay [it'll be a few euros]. I
found twenty Matrox G200s on sale, one touted as new [starting price 1p].
These cards, like sound cards, tend to run forever in PC terms, and cost
pennies now they are obsolete. Even the London Underground uses eBay for
spares.... You could even go wild and get a G450 if you have the OS/2
drivers.
