Can anybody tell me if there is a website that is devoted to windows XP Professional Compatibility with certain Video cards? I have a system that I want to convert over to XP Pro (it's older) and I can't tell if there will be an issue with the video card on it, until I switch over. I'd rather not go through the hassle of reinstalling the box until I find out if the graphics card is going to be a sore spot.

Ok, it's a voodoo Rush - PCI and I don't have any AGP slots on the MB, so I'm left with only PCI Video cards. However, to make it worse, I can't upgrade to just any PCI Video card in the box, as the MB that I have has onboard Video that I can't "Turn off" or Jumper off. so it's conflicted with a brand new TNT2 Video card that I already tried (PCI) again.
Is there a URL for this site that actually lists the cards that will work with XP PRO? (I', not talking about just 2d either, but 3d games as well)
