In my reply yesterday I should have offered more explanation. All the PCI slots on my mobos are in use, but I wanted to add capacity for 2 more SATA HDDs. At a certain point in time when PCI-X16 was introduced, manufacturers often still included a PCI-X slot even though it was instantly obsolete. So there's this unusable graphics slot until somebody came up with the idea of conversion cards for various applications; PCI-X to SATA II, sure! You mentioned what your mobo doesn't have but not what it does have, so my recommendation might not be pertinent. Steve -- Stephen B.
