    hey everyone,

    im pretty good with computers, but not so much the actual hardware part of them yet. you guys are the best so i figured id run it by to see watcha think.
    i started by wanting to upgrade my graphics card, and one of my teachers at school had an extra ATI kickin aroudn and i looked up the specs for it adn it soudned better than my regular one so i took it home to try it. Opened up the computer to realize.. i dotn have a slot. The graphics now is built into the motherboard and thers no AGP slot. so since im goign to end up upgrading mroe thigns, i decided i would start with gettign a new motherboard. sicne money is tight im going to have to just get the motherbaord for now, and use the rest of the current hardware.

    so basically im just wondering if this will work. i have talked to soemone who said yes and steared me i nteh right direction, but never too mcuh info. im super willign to learn more so lemem know wat u think..
