Unfortunately you will only be able to find bits and pieces.

Essentially, though, for graphics cards you can use most ATI "Mach32"
cards and the Viper 9000 cards, along with most S3 8xx and 9xx series
cards.  These are the local-bus and first gen PCI cards.  For enet,
DEC tulip and Cogent 10Mbps cards were well supported, I think.

I had good results with a no-name mobo, though apparently there are
some gotchas in that department.

If you can, lay your hands on NS 3.3 or better yet the 4.x series.
3.3+ has MIME support in the email client.

Cordially
