A Gigabyte GA-K8NXP -SLI mobo -- I don't need all that, but I can add to
my heart's content. -- an ADA processor now and maybe a ADA64 X2 4800 when
I get the courage -- A Seagate now and another later -- and another
monitor later. I would rather watch Judge Judy than play games, but I may
change my mind. Besides my colleagues say that I just have to have two
monitors or I am just not up to date.
Comments???
BUT
The mobo has only
2 PCI slots
2 PCIEx1 slots
2 PCIEx16 slots
It is the lack of PCI slots that worries me: One modem, my current video
card, a SCSI card for my HDDs and CDs. And no extra slot "just in
case." USRobotics doesn't seem to make a PCIE card, so....
Can someone please allay my concerns?
You could get a relatively inexpensive PCIe graphics card & then use the 2
PCI slot for the modem & SCSI card. You can get the PCIe video cards
starting at $50 depending where you shop just be careful as many of the
cheapies won't support dual monitors.
