I have a somewhat older system: Asus P3v4X mobo and a Gladiac GeForce 2 vid card. (win xp is my OS, btw) The problem is that my vid card in the system properties states it is in a PCI slot! I updated the bios for the mobo (1005) and checked all the settings in the bios that I could think of...

Anyone know? Pricewatch.com has a few vendors that are offering it, but whenever I speak to them they say, "Ohh yah... We just sold out of 'em! Gimme a call back in a week or two." Sounds sort of fishy. Are they even out yet?

Couple of questions on that board: - UltraDMA-100+33 EIDE Controllers It says 100+33. Is this normal? Every other board I've seen says 133. - 6 (32-bit) PCI, 1 AGP: AGP supports 1x, 2x and 4x modes. How important is the upcoming 8x AGP mode? Are there even any boards out there with it...

I don't need a DVD, but I do need a CD-RW. I'm going with Lite-On, methinks. Hmmm.... Pricewatch doesn't show anything for "DRV75-5"....

It's finally time to upgrade my tired p3 733mhz. The only problem is that the world of computers has passed me by - and I'm unfamiliar with the latest tech. I want a fast computer, with some room for expansion - but I don't need the latest and greatest. I don't have all *that* much money...
