Greg,
Look although you are using a different mobo, you are experiencing the
same problems that I ran into. At one point I managed to get a
graphical display but at the resolution was extremely low 800x640 I
believe, and no way to change it because it didn't look like the
kernel
recognized the monitor at all.
I just took a stab at a card figuring that no one else seemed to be
having issues. I don't do anything graphically intensive so I just
looked for what I thought was a good deal , and this card looked like
a
good deal, with a $10 rebate

Pete,
Thanks much, The machine I am preparing will be for video conferencing
so that card should be fine. I ordered one from Newegg.... Thanks
again.
Sure hope 7.4 gets fixed; I stopped doing any additional updates.
