Hi everyone,

Deej posted a while back about these video cards, and I was wondering if
anyone was still using them with Paris. I'm in the process of getting some
new video cards after my Radeon cards started giving me trouble. I'm looking
for a 2-card configuration (one PCI and one AGP) for four displays. I'm using
an ASUS A7S333 mobo. Deej seemed to have good experience with them, but it's
been a while. They are available is 128mb and 256mb versions. Which one should
be best? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Luiz

I did use a PCI and AGP and they worked well as long as the PCI card didn't
share IRQ with the Paris card. Use the PCI card in a slot that shares with
the AGP and you're good.

I"m using PCI and AGP nVidia cards on the Asus A7S333 here.. zero hassles,
best the video has ever run in fact. ATI stunk and Matrox was marginally
evil.

Thanks Deej. Did you use the 1288mb version or the 256mb one? Does it matter
at all or would either work?

Thanks.

Hey Aaron,

Thanks, man. Which version of the card do you have? Both 128mb or 256mb?
Does it matter?

Thanks.

I'll have to look later this week when I get back up to the studio to be
sure, but I believe they are 128's. My mobo has a 1900+ on it, if that helps
you determine. I have run 4 EDS cards in that rig w/o issues, but currently
only have 2 in.
