I am planning on getting a Epox 8RDA+ Motherboard which uses the nForce2 chipset. I will get either a Geforce TI-4200 or a ATI Radeon 9500 Video Card to take advantage of the 8X AGP.
It sounds like a silly question, but does anyone see any potential problems using a ATI Video card with a nForce2 Chipset MB??

I can see no problems with the nForce2 mobo with anyone of those cards, my brother tells me that the nForce2 and the ATI Radeon 9500/9700 work well together.

Don't forsee any problems, they work well together. My NForce2 Shuttle pc with a 9700pro in it at work is the only PC I have seen that can run the Doom3 Beta test version flawlessly- its amazingly fast.

ONE problem with the ATI graphics cards though is there drivers- NVidia have always had crisp drivers, installs nothing other than you need and maxes them out....withthe ATI graphics card I spent about an hour cleaning the registry- not the best drivers so I wouldnt install the ones from the CD you get with it.

Personally I cant wait for the GeForce FX to come out- only they have put back the start date due to ATIs new release.
