Best video card for under $200

It should, seeing as I'm running a P3-700 on the same MB. Plus, "OCing" the Celeron won't OC your system, as it'll be running at 100MHz FSB. FYI, I'm able to get this P3-700 up to 868 on a 124MHz FSB, and that's with my memory and probably my video card (Xpert 128) holding me back--if you're not running the system out of bounds, it all depends on how OCable your Celeron is.

Oh, and the Radeon goes for around $130 after $30 coupon at Buy.com, the V5 for $140 after coupon, and I'm not sure about the GTS. But if your limit is $200, you'll probably be able to get both a phat video card and a Celeron2. And for the Celeron2, you can buy a slocket at Onvia for ~$11, free shipping. You might want to check with CompuWiz in these forums for guaranteed OCable Cel2's, tho I'm not sure if he only sells P3's now.

V5. No question about it.

Oh well hell yea. 5500 seeems better to me than the Radeon 32ddr.i have both. The GTS is faster than both though.The 5500 is getting faster with drivers.
