PCI-X video cards?
Hi all,
I just purchased a new system (go Opteron!) and I find I didn't do quite enough research. The PCI-X slots aren't backwards compatible, so I find myself running w/the onboard video groan Anyone know where I can get a PCI-X video card at a reasonable price? I can't even find one advertised! I had intended to go with a nice affordable GeForce4 MX 440 but since I have to choose between that and sound... Help? tia. Jared |

The PCI-X slots are *supposed* to be backward-compatible with PCI cards.
Have you tried your sound card in one of the PCI-X slots? Failing that, the board does have a USB port, right? You can always plop down the cash for a Creative Extigy... -- First of One, Primary Adjunctive Grid Alpha-01 Remove "NOT" from Email Address to Reply Mech Arena: http://daxin.netfirms.com/ FormulaSAE Racing: http://fsae.utoronto.ca "Jared Richardson" wrote in message . com...
