Also, ddr2 ram Thanks  CPU: Pentium IV 2.67 G Board: GIGA GA-8PE800PRO Memory: KINGSTON 256MB 266Mhz DDR x2 Video Card: ASUS GF2 MX400 64MB HDD: SEAGATE 80GB BARRACUDA 7200.7 Case: ENLIGHT P4 MIDI TOWER CASE Power Supply: *NEW* CORSAIR HX-520W!!

| Modder-ator  | Re: mobo You will be hard pressed to find an ATX motherboard that does NOT support PCI-Express x16 video cards and DDR2 memory. As mentioned, what processor are you looking to use with this system? To add to the mayhem, are you interested in SLI or Crossfire?  |

| Re: mobo Well having an old computer like mine, i'm not to educated in the SLI or Crossfire area. I was just checking because i'm getting a corsair ATX PSU. And didn't want to have to buy another when i build a new comp. But any good articles explaining SLI and Crossfire?

| Colonel Calamity  | Re: mobo look for the PSU that has a breakaway 20+4 pin connector so the 20 pin can be used with your current system and the +4 will be used on the new system when you build it. Some PSUs only have a single 24pin connector which can be used but depending on if there is anything that may block the extra 4 pins hanging over the board, it may or may not cause problems.  Thanks HL and Corsair! My opinions are my own and not representative of this site or its members.  |
