Counter Strike 1.6 machine

[jefmad]

I have an old Dell 4300 with 1.7 gig P4, 256 PC133 RAM and a AGPx4 slot. What is the cheapest video card I can get that will run CS1.6 with decent framerates?
I was looking at a GeForce 2 MX400. Would that work? I will be doing no other gaming on this system other than CS1.6. Thanks

I used to play counterstrike 1.6 and before on an Intel Celron 400mhz microatx board with 256mb ram and a PCI version of the Geforce2 MX400 64MB with Windows 98SE, and it ran fine. Now that I look back on it however, I can't believe I tolerated that kind of machine. The PCI version worked fine for my gaming needs at the time.

I ended up getting a 128mb 9200SE for $30. I am going to give that card a try.
Thanks for responding.

The origonal CS will run on just about anything.

I have the 9200SE 128Mb and it runs fine for me, no problems so far.

I ran CS 1.6 on a Toshiba laptop with Intel Ext. Graphics - though the ping was always extremely high, it worked fine.

I play Source on a 1.7 with a bit more ram (760mb or something) and it's actually okay apart from servers with +20 players (and I only have a Rad 9600). So if Source takes your fancy I'd say you might be able to play it on your PC (note: might)

I personally prefer Source but then I hadn't played any CS until five months ago. Tried 1.6 after Source and just can't get into it...
