Hi, I just want to get some advise. I want to get a new video card for my old PC, it 166 mhz with 32MB of ram. Of course I'm going to get a PCI card for this particular PC. Now I just have 2 questions:

Would a 166mhz CPU be able to handle a 32MB PCI video card? Or should I get a 16MB PCI video card?

Also it has a pretty old motherboard, and I'm not sure of the version of the PCI slots, I looked in the manual and it said they are 32-bit PCI slots. One of the 32MB PCI video cards says that it uses a PCI Interface version 2.1
Will it work with my old 32-bit PCI slots? (probably not, right?)
