ATI RADEON 8500 128mb DDR All In Wonder compatibility?

[MisterHumble]

I'm building a system with the following specs, and wonder if there are any conflicts with the card and any of the other components that you guys/gals have heard of.

ATI RADEON 8500 128mb DDR All In Wonder AGP
Gigabyte GA-7VRXP RAID
Athlon XP 2100+ (1.73ghz)
1GB PC-2700 DDR RAM
Audigy Platinum EX (external drive)
NEC ZIP Drive (atapi connect)
80GB 7200rpm Maxtor ATA-133 (will be hooked up to the promise RAID controller
16X40 DVD drive (generic IDE)
32x10x40 CDRW (generic IDE)

And yeah, I'm sure it's a 128mb ddr AIW card. No typo. And no, it's not an 8500DV, it's the scaled-back AIW version.

If you folks have any problems that you've heard of with this card or the scaled back 64mb version of this card with the components listed above, I'd love to hear about it before I start putting it together.

Thanks!

You may want to check out Rage3D.com's A-I-W forums for compatibility of this card with the Audigy. Which manufacterer makes this video card? Do you have a link? I haven't seen a 128MB A-I-W 8500, except for the Compaq one that's only available through them.

Actually, I tried to register at rage3d but never received the confirmation email from them. Guess I'll try again.

This is an ATI brand 128md 8500 ddr AIW card, the same kind that Compaq is receiving for their systems. Unfortunately, I don't have a webpage to send you to for it. Aside for the little section on ATI's site advertising the card for Compaq, I didn't see a thing about this card on their site. And I can't find one solitary review of the card anywhere on the net either, which is a bummer... I'd really like to see how this lil' monster does.

I will check out the rage3d forum for problems with the Audigy. I'll have to fix 'em, that's for sure... I have my heart set on the Audigy, and this video card should kick ass.
