Gigabyte GA-7DXR MB Best ATI card for??

[Tim]

I just bought this fine board for a song w/ an Athlon TB 1.4ghz

Here are the board specs:

AGP Pro 4X up to 1.7volt will support normal AGP cards
support for PC2100ddr
ATA100 support
Promise Fastrak RAID(I won't be using it)

I am thinking about using a 9200se, any thoughts out there?

It's compatible.

The 9200 is too limited. The ATI 9600XT is pretty
cheap right now, and mine runs really well in Far Cry
on a Gigabyte 7ZXE ... and that is saying something
for the ATI card, because that mobo sucks bigtime.

True but the board only supports AGP4x(1.5v) and I don't want to waste a
decent card on it. The board I have is no pos though and may be used for
a server. The kind of games I play, I think the 9200 will do the job.
That and I'm a cheap bastard.

I already took the plunge and bought the 9200LE and added half a gig of
DDR to the board, it runs fine so far but the AthlonC runs hot as hell.
I've already added 3 extra fans. That and my crappy Comcrap monitor is
starting to die. Call of Duty UO ran too sweet and looked great too.
