     We have a computer lab here at O.U. with about 20 stand alone IBM pcs,
model 880, yes I know, rather outdated.  Quite frequently, students come in
to use software that either requires, or works more efficiently with a terminal
that has a graphics card.  The department is considering installing graphics 
cards, but they would like to keep the cost to a minimum.  They have asked me
to get some information regarding this and at this point I know next to nothing
about graphics cards. I would appreciate it if someone could email me some info
and suggestions about inexpensive graphics cards that could be installed in the
880s.  I suppose I should also mention that all of our monitors are monochrome.
Thank you for your time.
