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.

Greg
