Keep at least 2 slots between sound and display card.

Kazer0: Whenever you post, you stretch the screen. Cut down on your avatar length please. It could be the same pattern, just shorter.

1- You couldnt PM that to me?
2- i believe its not that big. It doesnt stretch my screen BTW. (you guys need to get with the program. the new age screen resolution is 1024x768, not 800x600!)
3- ill try and edit it, but it looks like crap when its smaller. it was actually bigger and I shrunk it to put it there.

4- Fixed my vidoe, not sure how
5- The card isnt even in the same type of slot as the sound. The sound is an oldskool slot > ------------- ---- (i dont knoe the name.) My card is different. Nope, not PCi but AGP 2X i believe. The sound is on the bottom-most slot and the AGP 2X is at the top!
6- RAM and CPU dont matter for video. they matter for 3D Cards, but not plain video or accelerator. Its only an 8MB Card.
7- Ooh! Direct X 9.0, DirectDraw, Direct3D and OpenGL!

Ill cut down my avatar to 90% of the original size. Thats all I can do for now.

the "oldskool slot" you speak of is ISA.

ah... i c.

I have a lot of slots on my motherboard.

then there's PCI, the mist comon slot in a modern pc, and AGP, which you probably have one of for your graphics card, in your latest machine.

Looks like Intel is obsoleting the agp slot in a couple of years for video, I dont know why we dont have 64bit pci as standard since even the mac uses them.
