What are my options for putting a video card in my friends Presario.
No AGP slot. On board video. ( It's fine for 2d, but sucks for 3D
gaming. ) It's a PIII 600. Any Geforce PCI cards out there. I thought
about a Voodoo 3 3000, if I can find one. But I'd rather set him up
with a GeForce.

thanks

No PCI GeForces afaik, but the V5 5500 comes in PCI.

If your Compaq is similar to a Compaq Presario celeron 500, then you
are out of luck and no video card will work. That machine with the
intel 810 chipset cannot disable the on-board video. Compaq's
simplified BIOS does not allow for disabling the on-board video. A
voodoo2 would be the only option.
