Advice on dual slot 1 mobo please

Dokt
I'm currently runing a Tiger133 with dual PIII800 cumines. I'm sick to death of the Tiger though (the only graphics card I've ever managed to get working on it is a standard GeForce DDR) and want a new dual slot 1 motherboard.

Videocard?

Biatche
.... After arrival at the airport and reaching home, I took out the casing, I found the processor+heatsink detached. Incidently, I also found my GeForce scratched. Perhaps, it's time for a change.

Question about S-Video

INFERNO2000
Assuming I have a video card(Voodoo3 3000) with an S-video connector to an RCA cable that is plugged into a television. . . is it possible to boot up w/o a monitor plugged in, and see the screen on the TV? I hope that makes sense.

I am thinking of getting a nvidia Gforce2 MX for its low price. However, I can't find any driver other than the terrible driver made by nvidia itself. I am using a win2k and I wonder if it is true that I won't find any driver for a nvidia gforce2 mx to run on my win2k.
