RE: Video Card
Yeah, I looked at the 9800 hard but I would have had to upgrade my power supply and possibly replace my motherboard.
I wanted to buy the 9700 since it sounded like a good PCI slot card but lo and behold, it is an AGP 3.0 slot card which is the 8x capable configuration IF your chipset will run 8x, which my supposedly "bad to the bone" AMD Athlon motherboard will not.
I still havent found a suitable Graphics card option for a PCI slot, but Im still looking.
