Read the question again before you get on your high horse. I'll
simplify it: Does anyone forsee any problems with running an nVidia PCIe

card with a board that runs onboard ATI graphics? I'm just asking
generally rather than specifically. - I've decided not to use that
particular card now anyway as the onboard graphics have many more
types of output. The board is a rather good one for £45 IMO; and it
appears that I'm
not the only one who thinks so:

Nvidia train spotters are queuing up to wonder what graphics card
chipset is involved here to compare with the onboard! Give that, and
then the collected grey matter can start counting clock cycles,
pipelines, shaders and overclocking ability - and state to the nearest
thou how flat the heatsink should machined to take away the heat from
the GPU, and what capacity fire extinguisher should be deployed if it
doesn't...

LOL its a 6200 series which usually runs at around 58 deg C. : The card only
has DVI and VGA out; whereas if I use the onboardgraphics setup the customer
additionally gets HDMI as well as an SVideo out extension port: Since he
does a lot of visual work then this would be a better bet.

Regarding 4GB not seen in windows XP, there is a boot.ini fix if the
AMD CPU and motherboard supports it.

Why can't I see all of the 4GB of RAM in my machine?

Thanks for that: I'll check it out later.
