I bought an evga 8800 GS and it black screens with the msi k8ngm2 motherboard in windows, but.. does work in dos and linux..

I have read that others have experienced some difficulty with this so.. if any of you can share on the new cards that you have tried that work or don't in windows with the older pci-e 1.0 spec slots, that would be a help.

HD3850 works with Asrock 775DUAL-VSTA (VIA chipset) board.

GT8800 works with the same board using NVIDIA BIOS 62.92.23.xx.xx or better.

Anyone know if the GeForce 9600 GT is compatible with motherboards like the 4CoreDual-SATA2/4CoreDual-VSTA/775Dual-VSTA? I know that there were issues with 8800 GTs on these boards and the only work around was to flash the BIOS to a GEN1-compatible BIOS.

I ask, because my brother wants to upgrade his video card and the 9600 GT seems like a great choice, but he has a 4CoreDual-SATA2 motherboard.
