I have an old GeForce4 ti4800 (Wouldn’t run battlefield 2 :() that I want $25 for that I just stopped using, and I think Jack has a ATI 9800pro still that could be had super cheap.

thanks man but really we could care less about the video. yeah integrated is the suck but for getting online doing some emailing and hitting a few websites who cares if theres integrated video, there will be no gaming or similar apps being run on this piece. i think im just gonna get that mobo put it all back together and hope it runs. the only thing i might do is get an additional stick of 512 ram to speed things up a bit.

thanks guys i appreciate all the help
