The following is an overview of the the reported successful installs of optional video cards for the SC420. This remains an ongoing effort, but the information collected so far is providing some general indications as to what cards to avoid and what cards are "best bets".

So far...the X700 series is the easy winner.... and the 6600/6600GT is generating problems for MANY users....

As always, use this information at your own risk. The accuracy cannot be guaranteed as much of the information received was limited to bits and pieces. However, I believe it is the best information collected so far.

For those who have not responded to the forum Poll...please contribute if you can to make this information as useful as possible.

Thanks.
