My motherboard hated any nvidia graphics cards. It seems that PC CHIPS has a varied reputation amongst computer builders. While it has worked great for me, it really bit me when it refused to play nice with nvidia. I stopped buying cards after the second one, so it may not like ATI cards as well.

I ended up buying a new board that would work with the CPU from the PC CHIPS one. This one was built by MSI (K8MM3). It’s nice, works with graphics cards, but has one flaw: the onboard ethernet jack doesn’t work. I bought it from NewEgg and I feel kind of stuck. I could return it for a new one, but I’d get charged 15% restocking fee on-top of the $8-9 it would cost to ship it.
