Asus board for video card?
I recently purchased an ATI X850XT AGP video card. My problem is that the
card is extra thick (large cooling fan... http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/S...nx850xtpeagp/4) and takes up the first available PCI slot under the AGP slot. My question is, does a motherboard exist that has more gap between the AGP and first PCI to accomodate these chubby video cards? It would be nice if the motherboard had built-in network and sound (I need 2 sound cards) as to leave more options for future card (already have a modem and soundblaster 5.1 card taking up 2 slots (no room left for anything else). My current MOBO only has three PCI slots, and the video card covers one of them. - Prometheu Xex |

It also has on board sound and gigabyte LAN. |

Looks like a nice board. I decided to take this to
news:alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus as it is probably more appropriate. Thanks for the advice. - Prometheus Xex "Michael W. Ryder" wrote in message ...
