Boris Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Tony,Look here ?http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1087&page=5PCI-Express 1X slots are about the size of current modem riser slots (about 1" long), while the X16 interface (164-pins) for graphics is very similar in appearance to the standard AGP port size.

Boris Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 PSNot that it affects my answer, but I thought your board was full ATX ???The screenshot is Micro-ATX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 It should fit OK :) - standard white 24 pin ATX connector (keyed) by the normal IDE connector + separate white smaller square 4 pin connector (keyed) up by the CPU. Don't know what your existing PSU is though ? - it should work OK with a standard 350W - but I thought you had your eye on a higher spec quiet one anyway ??

Boris Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 When we were PM-ing about this before, I thought you meant the other (full) ATX board at Overclockers. (This has now disappeared from their range) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madboy33 Posted April 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 I did have my eyes on a higher spec quieter one, however, that was scuppered by a somewhat higher tax bill :( :( So money at the moment is somewhat scarce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 RAM - it says you can use 266.The list is just what they have tested (later stuff)If you set the bios to autodetect it by SPD - it should recognise it for what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
