    Re: 2 quick questions

    1. No, any full-sized PCI-E slot will be fine for these new cards. *edit* but as mike points out, your board is AGP, which is NOT PCI-E.

    2. Its says "DDR 400" so that is what you need. Not DDR2 or DDR3. That page states max size is 2GB, so 1GB per slot is the max. Some older boards do not like the higher density DIMMs though, which is something thats normally harder to figure out.

    I find the crucial site quite handy for find details out about RAM compatibility for various machines/motherboards.

    where abouts do you connect to?

    or do you just need hooking up to a USB header and just start dancing around
