This motherboard has 4mg onboard video pretty much useless. No agp vid slot but pci available. I'm wanting to play some new games on this rig was hoping to upgrage to an ati 64mg pci card. The board is running a pent2 350. Can this be done?:)
Any tips appreciated

Check in your bios if there is an option to use a PCI Video card. You have to disable onboard video, or have the bios set to allow PCI first. Most newer games require alot of raw cpu and memory speed, so don't expect too much even if you get the Radeon PCI card in there.
