| socket 939 junkie | thats like setting a 350 smallblock on an Amish buggy. there hasnt been a new pci card since the geforce 6200 of 2005-ish. and people wonder why we havent completely rid ourselves of pci...its because companies keep releasing shit for it. although it would be kinda interesting to see my grandma's old AMD K6-II 500mhz try to play HD content with one of these cards ![]() way to go albatron....... ![]() Intel Q9650 Gigabyte EP45-UD3P 2x2048MB G-Skill DDR2 Visiontek HD4870 512mb Seagate 7200.11 500GB SATA Razer Barracuda AC1 Silverstone DA750 Pioneer 16x dvd burner Lian-Li G70WB Asus VK222 22" LCD Thermochill PA120.3 Swiftech MCP655 Switech Storm Rev2 7/16" ID Tubing Last edited by gvblake22; July 23rd, 2008 at 06:11.

| Modder-ator | I can see these being popular with miniITX board owners who only have a single PCI slot but don't want to rely on the poor performance of an onboard GPU solution. |

| Colonel Calamity | may have to pick one up for the MIL's computer... she has a 2 year old lower end Dell that has only PCI slots... no AGP, no PCIe since I have Vista on there, a batter video card should help out quite a bit. |

| Functional Alcoholic | Actually there is a market for PCI cards. Like mentioned above propitiatory computers with onboard video that needs an upgrade. Another more obvious use (to me anyways) is multiple displays. Even with two PCI-E ports being common on many motherboards, this still only limits you to 4 displays. With PCI video cards you can expand this to as many PCI slots that you have open. |

| I use to have a pci video card on hand to use if there was a possible problem with the AGP slot. |
