Finally.
Can't wait to give her a try and figure out what's wrong with her.
Nice card!

I've wanted another P4 for a while and I specifically went with this board that has no AGP so I wouldn't be tempted to just slam in one of high end Geforce FX series cards I have yet again. This way I'll get some use out of the various PCI video cards I have and some ISA expansion cards too.
Hopefully it doesn't take months to get here, it's coming from Guangzhou, China.
So this stuff arrived today and they ended up sending the version of the board that has a fake AGP slot that only works with the DVI add-on card for the onboard video and the CF-card slot. No big deal to me but neither feature is of use to me, also they included a P4 2.8 with the board along with the seperate CPU I ordered so now I have 2 2.8GHZ P4 processors.
Anyway when I test this stuff out later today I'm going to do some benchmarking with the various PCI cards I have, I'll make a new thread about that later.
That is so dumb that they used an AGP slot for a DVI add-in board and not as an actual AGP slot. They should of used another connector so people wouldn't get confused! I know Dell did a similar thing, where it wasn't an actual AGP slot, just a memory upgrade for the onboard video.
