So does Any1 have any Idea's for 2thpic as far as a vid card?? I mentioned the idea of using one of his PCI slots.. I have never personally tried this approached considering we are talking bout a stock brand Mobo only 1 agp and 3 pci.. so even if he uses a PCI and his limits on the AGP are 32 bit.. Is this possible and if so whats his limits as far as the mobo able to rec. the vid card if its beyond a 32 bit?

I have the basic system, but my mobo has a onboard graphic card. i wnat a good card that will play Need for Speed: Carbon. i dont have a lot of $$ because i just bought a new case and a 550 power supply. I'm looking at spending around $50.00 to $60.00 on a card.

Ok if you can get $70 bucks, I'll send you my Sapphire X800XT PE AGP with ArticCooler installed. I only had it for 6 months now. I'm planning to give my comp a tune up. Let me know if you're interested. Or email me at dust_er@earthlink.net.

Hey quick question... Is it able to install a video card that is 64+ bit into a mobo that is made to only handle a 32 bit vid card? if so what is the end result? will the Mobo downclock the card to 32 bit? or is this even possible?
