srry for repost!

anyway:

ok,
i have a problem with installing a pci card into pci-x motherboard.
i can get the card in, but the casing of the motherboard will not allow me to plug a DVI cord in! here is a picture of my mobo.
iss there a way to get the graphics card in without popping out the mobo??

Thanks A LOT!
Shawn

Port is longer than any than other PCI slot and do I see an old onboard Rage128 chip? It seems like an AGP slot to me.

it is a PCI-X slot. it is backwards compatible with PCI. And yea that is an Ati rage.

1, 2, 3, ... 8 ram banks? WTF!

Also, where is the place where the cards have input? I don't see it.

Best solution:
new motherboard & case Smile

I think it is 256MB per Ram so 2Gb in total
@shawnanastasio :Better if you plug the gfx card in(I don't mention the onboard one)

Burn the whole thing !

Cant see a solution here ! damn maybe a saw would help , just cut an output, but that seems kind of retarded , when you can get a used case for 5 box on ebay (i mean a case from at least the 21st century 2001 - 2002 maybe idk)

and good luck
