P4G8X video card

What is the best/fastes Geo force card that works reliably with this
board. Would cap the limit 300-400.

TIA

there is a little agp 3.0 bug in granite bay, so take latest bios before
any new geforce. intel's work around is to use agp4 mode with fastwrites
disabled.

OK, can all the agp boards let us access these settings?

I have an ATI 8500 I could never use becuse of sudden reboots and screen
garbage..

did you try different agp speeds or other options in smartgard?
you can also cange these settings in bios.
i think that nvidia agp board is even worse with these settings but i am
not sure.
my recommendation is to get radeon 9800 pro.
btw. check your power supply.

Yes, tried all the different recommended settings.
I read here there was a bios change to the video board that may help.
Never sent it in.

Is there any way to update the bios on the 9500 board?

so your video board is 9500 not 8500?
you can update your video bios.
check your video board manufacrer and bios date and version.

Yes 9500 Pro. Think it's worth trying to get a bios for it?
