![]() ![]() Oh, and this includes an experiment I'm doing, instead of porting my 16g & 2 40g HDD's over, I'm using adapters and 3 CF cards. Yeah, I eBay a lot, and am fairly good at waiting for good deals □ They all had tons of good reviews too □. Not counting the parts I already had (AWE32, & Gigabit LAN) the total cost was $180 + shipping. Would have preferred to get the board that had 1AGP, 1 ISA, 4 PCI, and 1 "shared" ISA/PCI slot, so I would have the option of either another ISA card or another PCI card, but it was 5 times the cost □ Been halfway keeping an eye out for another MB, but not making it a high priority. With all that, the only expansion the board is capable of is the addition of a PCI card. Was told it would work in the TXPro board, so it should work in this one (never got a chance to install the blasted thing.) So that's one ISA, 3 PCI, and 1 AGP cards - the MB has 1 ISA, 4 PCI, and 1 AGP slots, so that works out. 384MB RAM, 800mhz P3, Sound Blaster AWE32 (CT3980 - so plan to but a Daughter Board on it eventually,) 2x Voodoo2 12M in SLI, 32MB S3 AGP 2x (card is actually 4x but has same voltage and will automatically downgrade to 2x - only $10 is why I chose it.) The biggest issue is the Gigabit LAN card, but I actually have DOS drivers for it, and it's a standard PCI card, so it should work fine. Just like the TXPro, I've maxed out the MB's capabilities. New sys is P3 800mhz on a generic BX440 (or is it 440BX?) MB. I sort of wanted to upgrade anyway, the 233mhz P2 on a TXPro was getting a little sluggish with some of my Win9x games. Go to eBay, I got 2 16MB 30pin sticks for $1 each (+$5 shipping.) They worked great, until my 20 year old MB decided it didn't want to POST any more (KB chip's bad, and the blasted thing is soldered in.) Still in the process of putting my off system together again. ![]() Stojke wrote: Because i only have 2x8MB modules :) ![]()
