Shuttle ST20G5 question

[irvy]

Hi,
Just a quick question - Will the Shuttle ST20G5 work with Nvidia graphics cards ?
Thanks

lol, ofcourse it will

Must be a PCI-Express video card. Although it does have onboard graphics.

Ok, thanks - it just I'm sure I read a review somewhere that said there was problems running it with a Nvidia card (PCI-Express obviously)
Quote from the hexus review of the system:

"Secondly, the ST20G5 had a real dislike for any and all NVIDIA PCI Express graphics boards I could lay my hands on, that would fit the single-slot space the ST20G5 gives you. That includes 6600 GT, Quadro FX 1400 and a range of TurboCache 6200 products. The system would function correctly with all of those boards until a display driver was loaded, at which point it would take about 30 seconds for display corruption to appear and the system would hang. Various 7x.xx driver revisions were tried, along with NVIDIA's 66.93 WHQL set, without any real success"

Well I'm typing from a ST20G5 with a Leadtek 6800GT PCI-e right now

Just make sure whatever card you get is single slot, not double.

OK thanks
