Default PCI-X video cards?

Hi all,

I just purchased a new system (go Opteron!) and I find I didn't do quite
enough research. The PCI-X slots aren't backwards compatible, so I find
myself running w/the onboard video groan

Anyone know where I can get a PCI-X video card at a reasonable price? I
can't even find one advertised! I had intended to go with a nice affordable
GeForce4 MX 440 but since I have to choose between that and sound...

Help? tia.

Jared

The PCI-X slots are *supposed* to be backward-compatible with PCI cards.
Have you tried your sound card in one of the PCI-X slots?

Failing that, the board does have a USB port, right? You can always plop
down the cash for a Creative Extigy...
