What type of MB did you purchase? I have not seen any MBs for quite some
time w/o either a built in graphics card or and AGP slot. While I am no
advocate of the built in video card, for most users, it is usually more
than adequate. If what you have is a board with a built in graphics
board, I would check the specs on it. If you purchased a board w/o
either an AGP slot or a built in graphics card, I would return it if I
could, you will surely be disappointed if you do allot of gaming.
