Need Quik Reply for an Intel 955xbk MOBO

[Herradura]

I can get a definite answer if this board has ONBOARD VIDEO... Iv read some reveiws on google and some say yes and some say no so im confused. Also If it doesnt suport onboard video will it support a PCI Video Card.

this board is a quik put together fora aunt of mine with spare parts.

It does not have on-board video.

Negative on the on-board video.

However, that is a very nice motherboard; the 955 chipset was top of the line a year or two ago.

Here is a link to the motherboard manual:

Results from a quick Newegg search for PCIe/PCIe16/PCI video cards, fanless, less than $55.00:

Unless your Aunt is big into gaming (HL2 Camper? I think I know her), any of those will be more than adequate for her, and provide good quality and speed.

Just in case you do not already have a CPU that will work with the 955X chipset:
