Your motherboard not only has 1 wire plugger inner thingamajigggy (NIC) it has two

Look for the same card, but a version that says PCI-E instead of AGP. Get whatever is cheaper out of Leadtek or eVGA.

And floppy drives are evil, dont get one, antique technolagy. It's good to have one around just in case though.

i like this mobo, cant i just find a just-as-good video card thats PCI express?
im running pretty tight on money though, im making the deposit in the bank today and i was forced to count out my pocket change piggy bank and found $72
so yea i kinda need it in the 200 price range.
i could always ask my sister for a loan though...

Still need them to install SATA drivers. They are not evil, they are a great technology! unfortunetely, it is time for their departure from this earth. Very sad to see them go...

Floppy drive is a floppy drive. You want a 6800GT for $200 or so? Thats kind of a tall order my friend.

 

[c4sTr0]

yikes...
well what is would u guys suggest in my circumstances?
it outa be alright as long as it doesnt hit over $300

 

[Him]

So $300? You can get a nice eVGA 6600GT for $180 or so.

The 6800 is $370.

damn dude $180 sounds too good to be true... whats its fault?

 

[Him]

Nothing. It's just a good card, better ones have come out, and like any technology, it comes down with age. It's no 6800GT, but it is still rather badass.
