do pci video cards work on new mobos????
^ just bought an asus socket 939 motherboard here is a link:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131510
just built a new pc and im on a tight budget so i decided to buy everything except the video card until i can get more money so as a substitute i decided i was gonna use a very old pci 8mb video card since the mobo doesnt have any onboard video, the problem is is that when i hook everything up the computer turns on but there is absoluty no signal going to the monitor i cant even get into the bios to change the primary video to pci. because asus is known for gaming mobos i was wondering if the video card is to crappy for the mobo to reckognize it.
any help would be greaty appretiated
