I lay it out !!!! for you all to play it out !!!! .
saphire radeon 9800 pro with 256mb onboard, just look for the one with 4 chips on each side.
then you flash with XT bios and you have your 500USD card for 300...
it has the same core, memory, PCB etc as 9800XT with 256mb
and it IS RED!

ok about 4 months so I had a the 5200 geforce fx.
was runing nice with duel montiors . then a week before i got this card ( it started to literly smoke the apg port . and ever sense my video been twiching. when i play games and when i dont ( I leave my monitor off when not in use. same with this pc ) but i still can play games with this new 5200 . so what is the problem just a fried apg port?.

I just got an ATI 9700Pro All-in-Wonder 128MB board from NewEgg for $200.
Check their "referbished" section for great deals.
I returned an Nvidia Geforce FX5700-Ultra because it would always boot up with the dredded "yellow spot" & CODE 10 Error - card would not start.
Tried loading & re-loading various driver versions to no avail.
best I could get was an occasional single boot with drivers working.
After that, next boot always killed the setup.
Motherboard is $40 ACORP 6A815EPD Dual P-III with (2) 1100Mhz CPUs
My other Nvidia FX5200 card does the same thing.
Hoping the ATI clears the problem. WinXP-pro, Intel 1000Mbps, Adaptec USB2.0 card, SB-Live 5.1, onboard Promise RAID, Striped Seagate Baracuda IV 80GB/2MB/7200.
If ATI has trouble too, may be other cards are crapping on the video.
