My son replaced his old server and shipped it to me. I received a Nice Antec case with an Asus A8N-SLI Premium MB shown here:
http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_Socket_939/A8NSLI_Premium/#specifications
The MB has 2 GB of RAM and an Opteron 2-core CPU running a little over 2 GHz. I am connected (via a VGA cable) to a Samsung 46" LCD.
My question is this: I want to buy a vid card that will allow me to play video files and play pre-2010 games on medium (or lower resolution). I am looking for the best value solution and am manufacturer agnostic. Here are the options that I have come up with:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127611
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814500191
and this one if it were still in stock:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...m-_-14-500-193
Will I have an issue running any of these cards (PCI express 2.0/2.1) on this MB? The MB has the following expansion slots:
2 x PCIe x16 , SLI mode: x8, x8, Default (single VGA): x16, x1
1 x PCIe x1
3 x PCI
1 x AGP 4X
Thanks ...
