The rest of computer stuff finally showed up today. I haven't ordered a new video card yet because I was holding out until my next paycheque (Wednesday night). I was going to use my current video card (Radeon 9600 Pro, which uses an AGP slot to connect) until I got the new one. What I failed to realize until I started to put everything together that the motherboard I bought doesn't have an AGP slot. Not sure why I thought it did have an AGP slot. I need to pay more attention to shit.
So yeah, I'm an idiot.

when you can have PCI Express, or even PCI Express 2.0
Do they still make cards with AGP?

4. Yeah, my old card is AGP so I was hoping to be able to use it until I get my new card. |
|
No idea if they still make AGP cards, ahha.

If you dont mind me asking.
The one thing, and only thing, I do not like about Apple is my lack of options for vid cards.
if I could, I would have an nVidia 9800GX2 in my Mac Pro. But Steve wont let me...

Thats what I have in my Mac Pro. I like it, but the knowledge that there is something better that I cant have bugs me.

Maybe not a moron, just a little absent minded sometimes.

9. I think you ought to contact Sen. McCain or Sen. Stevens for advice here. |
|
They know how to use The Google, and can help you find the right tubes to fix it.
