Actually, you may have found the winner ... The ATI Xpert 2000 is not compatible with my motherboard since I need an AGP 2.0 card. However, the ATI Xpert 2000 Pro is an AGP 2.0 card, so it runs at 2x/4x and it is also dirt cheap! I have used the XPert 2000 for a couple of years now and it's been very stable for a while (since approx. 8.2) and unless somebody on this list knows the Pro card to be less stable than the regular Xpert 2000, I'll go for the pro :-) Thanks for the good advice, Narfi.
