is a VIA/S3G KM400/KN400 video card good?

That's a joke right?  No, it's an integrated solution.  If you're looking to play games I recommend nothing less than a Geforce 6600GT.

If you have a PCI Express slot get one of those.  Regardless go with NVIDIA or an NVIDIA line, they are better than any other company out there.  All my friends who work for CAD, Architecture, programming and for Disney, Dreamworks use Nvidia.  I would go with a 256MB Nvidia line that supports directX 9.  The higher the res it can max out at the better as well becaue if you play it at a lower res than the max supported your card works faster.  Also the Nvidia drivers are much easier to work with I had a 5500OC 256 card and was able to use the 5700 drivers for it without any problems.  If you want to change and upgrade your mobo, then upgrade to one that has PCI Express slots in them as PCI is going to be completely phased out  and soon AGP will be phased out as well.  Depending on how soon you plan to upgrade your mobo I'd wait and get one with a PCI Express slot then buy a PCI E card with the specs previously mentioned.

lets see.. 2mbps versus 12mbps (normal) or 480mbps (high speed)...\ngo pick up a pci usb 2.0 HS card.

You can check the minimum specs on the box itself or right the id software website.  From what I see your machine will handle it on lower settings.  You will need to throw that video card in first.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for or not, but it's the only download for that model motherboard on Biostar's website.  The notes on the page do mention a fix for S3 Virge graphics, but not whether that's the embedded video or not.

Yes, as long as you have an AGP slot (it is AGP isn't it) but that's ancient.  I believe there were also PCI versions of that card if I'm not mistaken.  If you aren't going to play games that's fine.  But in the computer world that card is as old as my grandmother, maybe older.  Why do you people like hanging on to the past, it's time to move on.  Step up to at least the ATi X700 or Geforce 6600 series.  And that's not even what I recommend for gaming.

get somthing from asus ... lok for the features you want ...plenty of pci expansion slots ...if you dont want to buy a new video card then you need an agp board but if u want to play the latest games you should move up to pci express and get a new video card like an nvidia 7950 ... a sli capable board is a bonus if you ever want to increase video performance even more by adding a second card ... raid is a good feature to have ...sata is better if you want to move up to faster harddrives  ...and get a board that supports ddr2 unless ur wanting to keep ur old memory ... it really depends on if ur wanting to run ur old components off of it or wanting to put together a new system ...

to be totally correct I would need to know what type of video card slot it has pci, pci express or AGP  but given the specs it is most likely an agp motherboard and that card should work if it is an agp card. if it is a pci express card it likely wont.

Go with ATI. its cheaper and my 512 MB card plays EVERYTHING on full graphics. Whether you have pcix, pci, or agp, there isnt much difference because the true speed is determined by your motherboard. If you have an old motherboard, dont waste your money on an expensive video card.

yes, but i would reccomend you to use the ports on your laptop before using a pcmcia one, they tend to be faster, if you do insist on a card, get an adaptec or a dlink, they are major brands that deliver unsurpassed preformance

yes u have to buy vga card with S video output

its not about the compatibility ... he might have asked u about the brand or different sizes of vgas like 128MB or 256MB or 512MB. i have INTEL915 motherboard and i tried almost every PCI EXPRESS graphic card n they worked perfect.

add a PCI/AGP graphic card that has TV out port (S-Video), or maybe RCA adapters

well done,another nvidia user,much the better card,anyway your current geforce 6600 is far better than anything you will get for £50 so i reckon you would be better investing in either a sound card or a memory upgrade\n          the 6600 is a good card.it has pixel and shader model 3.0 and has 256mb(not kb) which is more than enough for playing splinter cell,although you may need to turn down a few settings \n         if you still want another card,then a radeon x800gto would be a good upgrade but this retails at around £100 so you would need to add a few quid,also if you want to stay with nvidia a geforce 7800gt can be bought for around £100 again,this is a better card than the radeon and much better than the 6600\n        i personally would save your money for the moment and then shop on-line and check these websites for the best bargains on the web\n        dabs....http://www.dabs.com/\n        newegg....http://www.newegg.com/?CMP=KNC-overturesmx&ATT=hp\n         any problems or advice ,let me know

No, that is not harmful but not helpful either.  What you need to do is install a good video card with a good bit of onboard memory.  You can get AGP cards with about 256MB of onboard memory for way under $100.00\n\nYou should also make sure you have a fair amount of memory in your computer itself, say at least 512 MB, the more the better.

The mboard you buy will have AGP hardwired, not really accurate to call it a "card."\n\nAsus boards are great!

Stick with the nVidia cards and you can't go wrong...although you may have to lift your budget a little
