The Geforce 4 had WIDESPREAD quality control issues across the various
manufacturers. Several brands, including Asus, may exhibit flashing
green lines or artifacting with early BIOS revisions. Motherboard
incompatibility was a big issue also. I remember several manufacturers
updating BIOS's specifically for it.
I can say that a Jaton Geforce FX 5600, Leadtek GF3 TI200, and Leadtek
GF2 Ultra do work just fine in an 8HKA+ (my brother's system).
