Dumping the ol' BX R.2 & Building KT133

[comtrader]

I'm finally putting my trusty Abit BX r.2 (started oc'ing with a
celery 300a) out to pasture and I'm going to build a KT133, AMD 1.1.
My two main questions are:
1) Suggestions for a low cost but competent Video Card (I'm not a gamer).
2) Memory... Has anyone tried Kingmanx 256mb PC133 CAS2 Tinybga? or
does anyone have a better solution.
FYI: I run a lot of database intensive software.

Thanks

1)A Matrox G450 might suit you well. The 3d is of course not very fast but the 2d is the best of all video cards.

2)Don't know.

edit: Would you want to consider the KT133A? It's a little bit faster and should be very similar in pricing compared to the KT133. You might not see it for a couple weeks though.

The Kingmax should run fine, but it's not the PC150 variety?

A videocard.. A Radeon 32MB or a GeForce MX would be fine.

No, it's not the PC150 it's listed as PC133. ]
Should I get the PC150 instead??? I figured that PC133 would offer the best compatibility.

Yeah, I've heard a lot about the KT133A, but I haven't seen any tests or
results. I'm not in a big hurry and my main concern is stability.

My main goal is to build the most stable system possible, not the best gamer
or the most "overclockable." Been there, done that, had fun, moving on.

I want a Bill Clinton system... "Bullet Proof."

How much can you get the Kingmax for? For stability, I've never had a problem with Crucial memory, though it should run fine with the Kingmax.

The Kingmax is $139.00 for 256 here's the link
