Comparable Nvidia to an ATI 9600XT vivo card?

Not to spark any ATI -vs- Nvidia wars here.;. really looking for info.

Months ago I replaced my Nvidia 400MX with an ATI 9600XT VIVO card

My (1.3ghz t-bird & ATI KT7-Raid) system went from rock solid to a
system that freezes or reboots by itself 2-10 times an hour.

Did a bunch of stuff to make this no longer happen up to and including
getting a Battery Backup to make sure power was clean.

I give up.. I'm going back.

Looking for suggestions for an Nvidia card comparable or slightly
better than the Ati 9600XT card I have..

Like the VIVO feature.. would really like to get an Nvidia card with
it (so I can actually use it)

Thoughts? Ideas?

Thanks!

Tony!

But this card is about twice as fast. There may be some FX cards that fit
your description but I don't recommend anybody buy one.

A direct equivalent would be a 5700 Ultra VIVO card. Who has one is another
question.

I have the 5700 ultra with GDDR3 memory and it has yet to fail in any
fashion.

I know they're a good card. Try finding a VIVO version for sale new anywhere
now. Ebay is the best bet
