Video Card Compatibility

The motherboard that I'm using (Asus P4B233) uses DDR ram. I need to buy a video card. I was looking at the video cards available, and some of them have SDRAM and some have DDR onboard. Since my motherboard uses DDR, do I have to buy a video card that has DDR, or does it matter which I use? Any sugestions?

Thanks,
Brad

No, it doesn't matter what type of RAM the vid card uses. If you plan on playing games then I would stay away from the SDRAM cards though. They are too slow for most modern games. My recommendation would be an ATI Radeon 8500, a GeForce 3 (any type) or a GeForce 4 non-MX.

If you don't care about games then any video card will do.
