I have a MicroStar 694DPro with ATA100 that I will be putting a pair of P3-866s into.. I'm looking to purchase a new video card, but I've heard that there can be some problems with motherboards that have a VIA chipset.

Recommendations?

GeForce cards have been somewhat notorious for being hit or miss with Via boards, if that's what you're talking about

However, picking up a dual CPU setup and a top of the line graphics adapter then slapping it on an underperforming Via mobo seems a bit funny to me. ;)

I have 3 ATI Vid cards (Radeon AIW included), Matrox G400, Stealth, 3DFX (V2, V5,) and they all work fine.

with latest via 4in1, vid card drivers and latest bioses there shouldn't be any cards that have problems with quality via boards.

Would an FIC SD-11 mobo be concidered a 'GOOD' VIA chipset motherboard? That's what I have and I cannot get any Reference drivers of 6.xx+ to work.
