I can only tell you that my Asus Geforce 5600 works fine with VGA and 
the nv driver. The former version of the Nvidia driver would crash my 
machine from time to time (AGP problem) but there is a new revision of 
the driver which I need to test.

Maybe the AGP problem is due to my MSI K8T Neo board since VIA chipsets 
have an AGP implementation that is said to cause crashes.

Maybe you should buy a NForce motherboard ?
