Does it support a PCI Graphics card for testing until my 8800 GTS arrives tommorrow. I dont seem to be getting a picture.

Yes its got 3x PCI slots so you can use a PCI graphics card if you wanted.

its just that im not getting a visual signal from using a PCI Card from one of my school's pc. It was tested at work and was working fine.

Have you tried it in all 3 slots?

Hughsy · 5 Mar 2007 at 21:53

only number 1 & 3

Are you sure the card works? I used a PCI nVidia 5200 when I first set up a DS3 and it did a yeoman's job.

Yes. Perhaps the Slots on the Mobo are different to the PCI, its very old. I may just wait for my 8800gts to arrive tommorrow.

It should work fine. I usually use a PCI card for extreme overclocking as it seems more stable like that.
