Recommend Video Card for P4C800E Deluxe

I use cards with nvidia fx5200 and 5600 chipsets on two P4C800ED machines.
They run everything including games just fine

Thanks, I'll settle on a Nvidia card without a cooling fan.

The AIW 9700PRO was an extremely flaky card.
It was a problem from day one.
Mine lasted 6 months and others I know had the 9700 that died after an even
shorter period.
The 9700 was quickly replaced with the 9800
Send it back to ATI. They will refurbish it.

Try it anyway. That level of fix is a no brainer for them.
Was the card flakey prior to the accident?
