Radeon 9500 and Asus A7N8X compatibility

[Ed T Wilson]

I am looking at a Saphire Radeon 9500 video card and have read that
there are problems getting the cards to work with the Asus A7N8X
motherboard. What Radeon cards will work with the A7N8X? I am using an
ATI Radeon 7000 right now and the motherboard and video card seem to get
along OK. Any suggestions for a replacement for the 7000 if the 9500 is
a no go would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Ed

I have an A7N8X Deluxe, and a 9600Pro. Works great.

OTOH, I've _never_ heard of a video card being incompatible with a mobo
(except, of course, AGP vid cards with PCI only mobos, etc.)

Yeah, there are no problems with that board and Radeon cards. I have a 9700
pro running great. I wouldn't worry.

I have run both a 9500np and a 9500pro with my A7N8X, no problems... 9
times out of 10 all problems can be attributed to software
incompatibilities, not hardware. I.E. user error. PC's can test the mettle
of anyone.

I have been running a Sapphire Radeon 9500 Pro with my A7N8X mobo for
some time now and never even had the slightest problem with it.
