Veech, I do not know from ADAM.......But, If you want to FOCUS on your "keeper" M/B, then, it reads to me you are going to have happiness with a "compatible" nVidia video card choice. I could be wrong, certainly. Why anyone would choose to drive an ATI video card via an nVidia NorthBridge/SouthBridge internal I/O combination makes no sense to me. Again, I could be way wrong! I have never tried this. Never even thought about it.
