With a one PCI slot board, there's not much room to put in a 5200 *and* 
a 250... Also 350 support is still present, and would be a viable 
solution for the short term, and XV support for it might become a viable 
alternative as well...

Anyway, my problem is that I'm on a tight budget for the time being, so 
I'd really like to get the V8000 working... If that's not possible, I'll 
start investigating other possibilities, and be seriously miffed while 
at it!  ;-)

Thx anyway!
