A8V Graphics Card

I tried upgrading my graphics card to a Radeon HD 2600XT AGP and the
printing to the display was corrupt. For example, if I tried scrolling a
web page quickly, the writing would smear.

To my dismay, the drivers are not windows qualified either.

I looked at the comments on newegg for the agp video cards, and basically,
they all seem to suck, drivers are bad, etc.

I tried the original drivers on the cd, the updated drivers from visiontek,
the hotfix drivers, but the results are the same, the writing will smear
when scrolling a page quickly.

Is anyone using a stable agp card with their a8v?

My specs are:

win xp
amd x2 4400
2 gig ram

Thanks.
