Howdy everyone, been trying to find me an el cheapo PCIe video card to use in the shop for testing. Lowest i have found is $50 and IMHO that is still kind of expensive to be using for a test card. Does anyone know of a card or such a place to get a very cheap (but works) PCIe card? dont care about memory, video etc. As long as the video works to show me the post :) im happy.

thanks very much.

/regards

Does it have to be PCI-E? I think all boards should come with PCI slots as well, you could use a regular PCI video card.

If you post in the wanted section I bet you could find someone who has a cheap X300SE or 6200.

Weren't there problems with PCI video cards in PCI-E boards not working? I'm curious because I may get a PCI-E board, and can't afford a decent PCI-E video card right away.

Kevin007 used a PCI Radeon 9100 for a while in his DFI nF4, before he got his GTO˛.
