As long as you have a free x8 or x16 slot (which you obviously should have determined before ordering) and it's not one of the few mobos that automatically disables the onboard video when you populate the x16 slot, then it should work fine. If the latter, used PCI vid cards are cheap, assuming you have a free PCI slot. > Anyway, thanks for your advice and recommendations. You're welcome.
