I use that combination and not only is the card highly capable but the monitor is superb. I had the card previously and then upgraded from a 17" CRT to the LCD Viewsonic. I did find that the monitor is not "Microsoft ready" but that was absolutely no problem as the alternate install (manual) was almost automatic in itself.
I believe you'll be very happy with this combination as long as you don't intend to do high end gaming.....if you do then I would still get the VP201B and upgrade the card. This monitor is perfect.
I currently have a G-Force FX 5200 Video Card and am thinking about buying either the Planar PX212M or the Viewsonic VP201b LCD monitor. Have there been any known display issues using these monitors on this particular video graphics card? I read somewhere that there have been display issues with ATI Radeon cards, but what the about G-Force FX 5200?
