I bought a Chaintech 7NIF2, as it has sound, video (the card you're
contemplating) and network all on board.  I haven't done the math
recently, but I bet you'll save money with the Chaintech.  The only
hitch with the Chaintech is the nForce2 chipset.  If you run a 2.4
kernel (Fedora Core 1, for example), you'll have to download the source
for the driver and get it on the box somehow.  With 2.6 (e.g., Fedora
Core 2), that's not an issue.  I'm extremely happy with my Chaintech board.
