we've got this Asus A8N SLI and it has a radeon 800 card in it that seems to be cracking up. At unpredictable times the screen will all be lurid characters.
It's in a PCIe 16 slot. And it has a VGA port only and the monitor we use on it can only handle VGA.
I can't find a card for it.
Many are way too expensive for this old thing that just sits there doing nothing most of the time.
Cheaper, like second hand, all seem to be HDMI which is no good unless we get another monitor - again, not worth the bother/expense.
It's running Linux Mint ( when it runs ).
Any suggestions as to what we might use for a card, where we might look (p.s., we're in Aus, not the USA) ?
