I want to put together a box with a Asus A7N8X-X, AMD XP2500+, 512 Kingston
Value Ram and I'm looking for a AGP video card 8x slot, for around $50. Can
I have some opinions on a decent card in that price range?

Also some opinions on the A7N8X-X too.

thanks,
Geo

That motherboard looks OK. There is a Biostar board that is just as good
that can be had a little cheaper, but there's nothing wrong with that Asus
board. Try the following for a video card. -Dave

Dave,
What model Biostar is it? Good, reliable?
About that video card, is that pretty reliable with no headaches?

Never tried that video card, but any radeon 9200SE should work great. Asus
is about midrange, as far as quality goes, although many people seem to
believe they are top-shelf quality. Not really, they just are over-hyped to
the point where most people believe that to be true. -Dave

I stuck a Gainward FX5200 fanless card in my daughters PC which works fine
on everything thrown at it.

My main workstation is on a A7N8X Deluxe which has been working 24/7 for
several months without a problem.

I did get Slight conflicts with a 4 port USB2 card which caused W2K to take
about 3 minutes longer to load up but it worked fine when it was up and
running.

All this running with XP2000, 1GB RAM 2 HDs 1 DVD Rom and 1 DVD writer.
Matrox P650, videum PCI Capture card, and all cooled with a single 120mm
Pabst fan on a Zalmann flower HS.

Lovely and quiet, fast and reliable recommended.
