So my motherboard kinda crapped out on me and I really don't have the money to completely upgrade my system. I got this one
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813123233
from Newegg a couple days ago and and when I got it it's DOA. After reading some other reviews on it I've just decided to get a refund. I'm looking for a socket A mobo preferably with an nForce chipset, I REALLY don't want VIA cause it just doesn't work well with my TV Tuners.

^^Hauppauge PVR-150 and 500 MCE. I've tried asking on forums, driver upgrades, chipset driver upgrades, everything, I could not get that 500 to work with the VIA chipset I had.

^Holy crap, thats a crazy good deal, I might have to jump on that man, thanks

So, I guess I'm looking for recommendations for a PCI-E video card, preferably less than $100

found this one:

it's go the same sepcs as that 1 except it's 128mb. it's got 4 pipelines stock but ti's the exact same 6600 pcb so all u have to do is install riva tuner then 3 clicks and a restart later the other 4 pipes are unlocked makin it a 6600, and even after that u can overclock it a bit. i'll do 35 on it with the doom3 game.

here's a link to the process
