I know this sound stupid, but does via chip set have conflict with nvidia card a lot? MY current mb is soyo kt dragon 600, which use VIA chipset. It seems to have a constant conflict with my Evga Nvidia 6600 gt, anynknow know what the problem is?
 
AGP, when i used the latest driover before, no video file would run. UI am worrying because i just bought the asrock board for a conroe build and that asrock board use via chipset as well
 
I cant' really help you, but I've had numerous problems with Via chipsets and graphics cards. So you arent the only one.
 
By conflict, what do you mean exactly? No video? Crashing while in windows? Crashing while gaming? I have a MSI KT3, and it has a VIA Chipset paired with a Geforce 6600 AGP, and I haven't experienced any problems at all, course I haven't updated to the latest drivers so maybe thats why?
 
i'm using via chipset in my second comp with a 6600gt, no probs at all (besides the chipset overheating with the small tiny heatsink the board came with)
The nforce 3 chipset was the one that had major problems with the nvidia 6xxx series cards.
 
Ever since the VIA chipset and MX300 sound card problems, I've avoided VIA MB's if I can.
Issues have probably got better now, but my brain still balks on buying VIA based MB's. :roll:

Check for IRQ conflicts,video cards should have their own IRQ for best stability(look in System info for IRQ listing),also try disabling fastwrites in BIOS.Normally I leave the nearest PCI slot to AGP empty just incase it shares IRQ with the video card.
 
the problem i had was dvix, xvid and rmvb lock up the system. And serious graphic break down ever since i installed sp2
