Post subject:  Motherboard
i have NO knowledge of motherboards and i'm planning on getting one with a PCI-E slot, so i was wondering if someone could find something like that on newegg or something like that? (sorry if i sound demanding, lol) my case only has 4 slots, and 2 of which i use (wireless card and sound card), so i also need the motherboard to have 4 card slots, help is MUCH appreciated

...you need to add a lot more information.

Model # of your computer is most important to find out what motherboard you already have (unless you know that, then just tell us).

Speaking of, if it's say a Dell or HP computer, I don't know if you will be able to install a new motherboard - based on Dell cases have a special way to that hold their motherboards. Not 100% sure though, you'd have to ask Cole on that.

Im so glad I didn't buy a pre built computer. Also Cursed you might want to keep in mind your socket type of the MOBO (if Display hasn't already) so you can buy one that works with your current CPU. Or plan on shelling out some more $$$.

Are you sure you have AGP, you could have PCI express and think its AGP?

i needed a PCI-E x16 slot so i needed a new motherboard and i talked to carlos about it and he said if i wanted a new motherboard i'd probably end up building my own comp cuz the business won't let me take out the motherboard, the processor and the case is just some extra stuff, i just wanted to lay down the links to the case and processor so i didn't have to search for it on newegg, are you still with us now? lol

If your specs say you have a pcieX16 slot, then you probably do....

Well, you need to keep in mind the year in which is computer was built. If it's an older version of that model (which Dell HAS done before, so other companies might) they may have just switched out some parts to make it more compatible with todays technology.

Best thing to do is try to remember what year it was made, then search the model with the year on Google, and hope you find results to be sure.

Otherwise.. you have pciex16 :P
