Quick question 4 a quick answer

Hello, judging by my handle you can tell why I am asking this.
Anyhow, do I need AGP or PCI-e video card?

**Cromewell** · 12-24-2004, 12:21 AM

would you believe neither? that board must have onboard video, thers no AGP/PCIe16x slot, only 3 PCI

That sounds bad? What can I do?

That's a micro-ATX mobo, and its main advantage is that it's small. So why put on it a big video card? Just use the built-in video adapter...

Well I wanted to be able to play some games on it?

Intel Extreme graphics. Crap, but it will do some 3D games. my sis has a comp with that, and I tried a low level 3D game, and it played OK, but the text was funky. Doom3, no

Hey bobo thanks for your input, but im not lookin to use the stock on board graphics. I now realize that I cant have a super cool computer, but what is my very best option then?

Regular PCI vid card

None of them are very good, but here:

I would get the ATI 9200SE or the Nvidia MX4000

Very best option? imo, stay with integrated. PCI probably won't be better than that, but you might be able to find something...
