I just got a new motherboard today... A ECS K7S5A Pro, and plopped in a ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon 8500DV 64mB Edition. Runs lightning fast!

i woud have went for a newer card ... but good for you!

Congrads on the video card, how much did that cost? I'm not being nosy I'm just asking because like Neon said you could probably get a much better card for the same if a little more price. Also there was something else I was going to ask but it escapes me at this point. I'll ask again later if I remember ;p

I didn't go for a newer card cause it was sitting in an old rig that I didn't use much.... So i swapped ouit my GeForce 2 and put in this. I didn't put it in befgore 'cause my old mobo wasn't designed for nonNVidia cardsa.

Clever thinking to buy your videocard after your computer.
I've heard many buying a juicy graphics card with a low-end computer and was hoping for better performance. Which they didn't.

So you're the first I seen buying computer components cleverly and thoughtfull.
