TBD when I take it down here in a couple hours.

Yes, and apparently caught the video card folks too so the AGP cards all have a latch at the rear of the socket. Exactly what the PCI should have had from the gitgo IMNSHO. > My latest build has a different approach: > https://picasaweb.google.com/108164504656404380542/Holbrook#6234774182 >242152002 Looks good, but would need a full length pci riser I haven't seen at TD or NewEgg, and in an LP case, might not clear the connection tower sticking up off the mobo. That and this Dell 745 doesn't have any pci-e slots that I've noticed enough to recall. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
