Asus A8N-SLI Video Card

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus (More info?)

I'm building a system based on an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe and I'm not sure
if I should go with a 265MB DDR or 128MB DDR3 video card (if I go with
the DDR3, I'm thinking on the ASUS Extreme N6600GT). I want to spend
$250,00 max… Can anybody shed me some light on what is the best option
here. I don't intend to do SLI. Also are there any video cards that
pairs up better with this specific MOBO?

Thanks!!!

All I can say is thet choosing your card based on it's memory is
probably not advised.

I was going to suggest an X800XL but it appears to be a tad out of your
price range at ~290 USD (newegg, today). Shame, really as thats
probably the best bang for buck card by a long way.
