I have a 64 bit MSI MB with the nvidia chipset in it and the nvidia 5200 video card in it. I also have the prv-500 card in that machine. This machine has been up and running with few problems for several months now. I am currently using SUSE Linux 10.0 64 bit on that system. Before getting this system running I had a gigabyte MB with basically the same specs. that MB would not work with the same setup. When I called Gigabyte and told them about my problems they told me to buy someone else's MB. I don't know if you are running into the same type of problem or not but MB's can be a problem. Though I have seen several people that I think are running similar systems. The long and the short, and AGP video card and the PVR-500 work for me.
