Hi "borg",

I have graphic from S3 INC. Savage4(8.10.14) which is build before WINXP. I even called S3 in thailand asking for the drivers. A sales representative told me they don't give support for this model and the winxp drivers are not build since this model was closed before winxp comes in market. He also told me some websites where i can try to find some drivers, but that was of no use.

But I want to use WINXP also, so the only option i had that time is to disable the graphic card for winxp, but when i went online browsing websites or watch any movie or video files on winxp, its not anywhere near to good visuals.

At present I have NVIDIA GeForce MX 4000 which i got it from a vendor who is also a friend of mine, so i can keep it for few days and test it, whose drivers are updated for win98 and winXP both as of Nov`04. But as i said before, this card hangs while playing games, which means this card is not compatible with the motherboard.

So..now - what i need is a good graphic card which will be compatible with the Intel 850 GB motherboard. That friend/vendor told me about GeForce FX 5200 would be compatible, but I want to have a professional view on that yet before buying that card since this friend doesn't know lots about graphics.

So if you or anyone can help/suggest me any good graphic card that i can use with the motherboard i got for playing high-def games as well as regular PC use for watching movies/online surfing/using 3DMAX/FlashMX, would be GREATLY appreciated.

thanks
