ok and the other motherboard that docdutch pointed out you would be able to have a PCI-e or AGP card connected??

on a little side note I built a table top arcade game system today using an old pc and an adapter that turns the joystick and buttons to usb.Ill post pictures tomorrow its still in bits. Its going to run MAME in 2 player mode with 1000's of games

[smiffer]

doesn't say on there that it has PCI-e ports or AGP i'm just probably being annoying now i know. They should make it harder for simple people like me to get in these things and ask loads of idiot questions

[DocDutch]

only pci-express Smiffer. cheaper nowadays then AGP.

go on Zing recommend him some nice graph cards you know you want to

thats an atx board not a matx are you sure that would fit? you could buy the asrock twin board and have both agp and pci-e for 40 quid if that will fit

X1800xt for about 150 quid x1900xt about 220<<< both pci e

ok think i got most of that zinglebarb but pictures would help, i can appricate looking but the explaining part and understanding comes difficult

[DocDutch]

[smiffer]
