Yes... All the latest graphics cards are PCI Express x16 based. You can probably still get some old AGP boards sitting around on someone's shelf (I donated mine!) and use that. I would recommend going with a new board. Actually, some of the new AMD64-based boards (I bought these 1 year back so 'new' is not really a good word for these) with an nForce3 chipset have an onboard GPU which works reasonably well. If you don't need a very high performing GPU, that should do the trick for you. Also it has support for PCIe x16, so if later you decide that you want a high-end graphics card, you can go ahead and add it to your system as well. The GigE network drivers don't come with FC4 for the nForce3 chipset, so you would need to use a USB stick to get this working though.
- Praveen > My systems motherboard is Intel made model: D845WN > (http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d845wn/ sb/cs-008926.htm) It has six PCI slots and one 4x AGP slot. Is there an upper limit on upgrading my graphics card then? thanks, rohit. _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
