So I finally found out what was wrong with my comp - I fried my video card, everything else is intact. So now I have to make a descision, I want to upgrade to a 128M card but which one? Can you guys give me some suggestions?
Thanks again for your help.

Fei_Hung, hold on for a second.
Who told you that your video card was fried?
Do this last test please.
Unplug all cables from your computer starting by the power cord to the mains.
Open the case and locate your memory cards.
Unplug each card carefully and completely, reinsert each memory card in again and double check that it is all the way in and secured.
Do the same thing with every card in a slot.
The start up beep alert is usually memory failure of graphics card failure but the beeps sound differently like code. Three beeps followed by a dash of silence, is a code for memory cards.
The reason behind this problem is usually the hot weather, humidity and long time of stillness.
The contacts for some reason break it one or more point.
The procedure I described up usually fixes this problem but occasionally re-soldering the mother board may be necessary under magnification to detect the dry joint defect.
Video cards do not get fried by themselves.
